Latest Update on AJ Styles and NJPW Superstars Signing With WWE

Last night, the rumor mill picked up a huge story that AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Doc Gallows, and Karl Anderson have all leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling and have their notices at the Wrestle Kingdom 10 event yesterday.

The latest details being reported from Wrestling Observer Radio this morning is that all four men have not signed WWE contract as of this writing, but all are expected to do so once their commitments to all other wrestling promotions are finished.

It’s also being reported that WWE is bringing in AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura for BIG money. It’s very unlikely that WWE is only going to use them in NXT. Those within WWE are expecting they’ll likely work a few matches in NXT to get their feet wet, but they’ll be on the main roster almost immediately.

 

The wheels have already begun turning for NJPW because The Bullet Club recently turned on Styles in his last scheduled appearance for the company.

Kenny Omega has been established as the new leader of the group, and he defeated Nakamura in a tag match. The belief is that will set up Omega vs. Nakamura for the IWGP Intercontinental Champion which Omega will win, and Nakamura will be free to go to WWE afterward.

There is no official word on Doc Gallows or Karl Anderson as of this writing, but an update is going to come very soon.
