The Forbidden Door was opened again this week on AEW Dynamite as All Elite Wrestling used Bandido and Juice Robinson.
Bandido lost to ROH World Heavyweight Champion on the show in the main event while AEW World Champion Jon Moxley vs. Robinson in a World Title Eliminator Match took place.
As previously reported, Bandido was offered a full-time deal by AEW President Tony Khan following the match.
PWinsider.com reported today that “there is massive interest in bringing in Juice Robinson as often as possible and making him a regular for the company. “
Robinson had been working regularly for New Japan Pro Wrestling as a member of Bullet Club. Earlier this week, Robinson revealed that he and NJPW have gone their separate ways.
“I’m no longer representing New Japan, and I want that to be clear. I carried that New Japan flag for seven years,” Robinson said in an interview with Sports Illustrated. I’ve got no unfinished business there. I sang that song, and I danced that dance, and we’ve gone our separate ways. That’s in the rearview mirror. I’m totally free right now. I’ll fight whoever, wherever, and whenever I want as long as it’s the right match against the right opponent on the right night of the week.”
This would indicate that Robinson can sign a full-time deal with AEW if offered or split his time between AEW and NJPW if agreements are reached. It would also make sense for Robinson to join AEW as his wife, Toni Storm, works for the promotion.
