During the interview, McIntyre said there was no such ‘forbidden door’. He said;
“There’s never been a forbidden door as such. I think it’s just if this makes sense for our company and for everybody else then WWE’s always going to do business and that’s what we’re all about. So I would love for it to make sense. I’m going to keep trying to find reasons for it to make sense business wise.”
Previously, Dave Meltzer mentioned in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter about NJPW exclusively working with WWE as well. He said:
“In what could end up being among the biggest wrestling stories of the year, or a non-story, depending on the end result, Nick Khan has been in talks with New Japan Pro Wrestling about WWE being the exclusive American partner with the promotion.”
