Rocky Romero reportedly has a new role.
In the world of professional wrestling, few people are as important as Rocky Romero. He is still active as an in-ring competitor, but is also a key figure uniting different wrestling companies from across the world, including work with AEW, NJPW and CMLL. Now, Romero’s role has reportedly expanded yet again.
Per Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it’s believed that Rocky Romero has been promoted to a Vice President for New Japan Pro Wrestling, meaning he now holds the position for both NJPW and AEW.
“Rocky Romero has been promoted to Vice President, which makes him one of the few people in wrestling history to be Vice Presidents of two major companies at the same time, as he holds a VP position in AEW.”
