Two More Top Stars Leaving NJPW For WWE Soon?
- It looks like current IWGP Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson may not be the only New Japan Pro Wrestling stars coming to WWE.
We've noted how Rocky Romero could be coming in as a wrestler or a trainer, which was discussed. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that there are also rumors of Bad Luck Fale and Tama Tonga leaving NJPW for WWE. However, as of this week, none of those three have given their notices.
It's believed that WWE NXT Champion Finn Balor suggested and recruited Fale and Tonga. Fale has had offers in the past, because of his size, but hasn't been interested because of relocating to Orlando as he lives in New Zealand. Regarding Tonga, he lives in Orlando but is scheduled to a major NJPW push due to the original 4 departures.
