AEW announces working relationship with popular wrestling promotion

As announced via Twitter, AEW is entering a working relationship with Japanese promotion DDT Pro-Wrestling. It was confirmed that the companies will work together to bring top DDT talent to a US audience through All Elite Wrestling programming.

Vice President of Talent Relations and All Elite original Christopher Daniels shared the news in a video message to the fans:

"I'd like to say congratulations to DDT for their 25th anniversary, and I'd like to also announce that AEW and DDT have come to an agreement to bring DDT's wrestlers to the United States of America," said Daniels. "I for one am looking forward to introducing the top talent from DDT to the American wrestling fanbase."

Fans may recognize DDT as the promotion former world champion Kenny Omega made a name for himself in prior to joining NJPW. It was in DDT where Omega began teaming with Kota Ibushi to form the Golden Lovers; the duo won the tag titles twice.

Former AEW Champion Kenny Omega won tag gold with Riho when she was 13 years old in DDT

All Elite stars Kenny Omega and Riho have their own history stemming back to their days in DDT Pro-Wrestling. As previously mentioned, The Cleaner started to gain traction while wrestling for the promotion. But it should also be remembered that Riho wrestled for DDT when she was still a child.

The inaugural AEW Women's World Champion teamed with Omega and another child named Mr. #6 during a 2010 event. They challenged for the promotion's trios titles and shockingly won the gold after just 40 seconds.

Riho also stood with Mr. #6 against The Cleaner, who had paired with his Golden Lovers' teammate Kota Ibushi. As can be seen below, Omega put the duo over throughout the course of the match. After three minutes, Riho and #6 defeated the future IWGP World Champions.
