NJPW President Harold Meij recently took part in an interview with Yahoo! Japan where he talked about a wide range of topics including if NJPW would make a partnership with the newly formed All Elite Wrestling.
The depth of the NJPW roster coming into 2019 was deep but just a month into the new year, the promotion has taken a hit due to some stars leaving the promotion including The Young Bucks and Cody, who are spearheading the company.
As translated by @kakutolog, Meij said, “AEW is a new organization to start from now, and I do not know what kind of relationship we would [have]. I think that it is necessary to figure out what policy they would develop on pro-wrestling.”

「（ＡＥＷは）これから始動する団体ですし、どういう関係性になるのかなどは分かりません。彼らがどういう方針でプロレスを展開するのか、見極める必要があると思います」#njpw #メイ社長https://t.co/p6oHmmNdbR
