#8 AEW isn't alone
Well, a deal with NJPW may be up in the air thus far, with the recent murmurings suggesting that NJPW will continue to work with ROH and thus not work with AEW - but Dave Meltzer has recently speculated that Kenny Omega's future may change this. Omega's been rumoured to have finished up with NJPW and be headed to either WWE or AEW. What will happen? Only time will tell.
No NJPW doesn't mean no working relationships though, as a partnership with OWE in China has already been confirmed - and that may just be the start!
AEW wrestlers may very well be performing in China soon, which will undoubtedly give the brand global exposure, and one team already confirmed to cross over are the Stronghearts from OWE, who have been confirmed for AEW.
The group is headed by CIMA who some may have seen at last years PWG Battle of Los Angeles tournament and boasts members such as Dezmond Xavier, Duan Yingnan, El Lindaman, Gao Jingjia, Takehiro Yamamura, T-Hawk, Zachary Wentz, Seiki Yoshioka.
