Tony Khan is excited to get Maki Itoh on AEW programming for at least one more show.
During the AEW Revolution post-show media call, Khan was asked about Itoh’s status moving forward. Khan put her over as a tremendous talent and revealed she’ll at least appear one more time on Wednesday in a six-woman tag team match.
“Maki Itoh is tremendous and I hope to see her here often. We’ll definitely see her live Wednesday night on Dynamite in a six-woman tag. She’ll be teaming with Britt Baker—Reba/Rebel, Britt’s assistant, is slated for the match, but already I’m hearing that she’s trying to get out of the match, so it will be interesting to see if she’s able to participate. We’ve got great opponents lined up for them with Thunder Rosa, [Hikaru] Shida and Ryo Mizunami. Maki Itoh’s going to be involved in AEW Dynamite and I’m very excited for that.”

Itoh debuted in AEW last month as a participant in the Japan bracket of the AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament. Those matches were taped overseas, but she appeared live at Revolution last night, teaming with Britt Baker as Reba’s replacement partner on the Buy-In.
