Romero stated that the last two years have been hectic, but it’s clear that the efforts of the three-time Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champion have paid off, with a variety of multi-company events cropping up more and more. Asked about the difficulty of his current role as an “ambassador,” the NJPW star shared why the position is a little bit easier than one might initially think.

“I would say like 50% of it is everything falling into place, and that’s helpful. I feel like the good thing is everybody really wants to work with New Japan,” Romero continued. “I feel like they have a lot of respect for the talent especially, and the product itself, so that kind of makes it a little easier. The other 50% is just kind of getting everybody to get on the same page.”

The NJPW and frequent ally to AEW’s Best Friends then described some aspects of his working relationship with AEW’s Tony Khan. According to Romero, part of his role is helping both Khan and NJPW officials get what they need out of matches. A long-term working relationship like the one between AEW and NJPW requires a great deal of give and take, and Romero seems to be one of the people helping to facilitate that.
