Karl Anderson Confirms He’s Heading to WWE

Last month, the rumor mill ran wild after it was announced that AJ Styles, former IWGP Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson, and Doc Gallows had all left New Japan Pro Wrestling and were headed to WWE.

That rumor was validated when AJ Styles debuted at the “Royal Rumble” and WWE announced the signing of Nakamura for NXT Takeover: Dallas. At this point, there is no reason to doubt that the others will be next, but Anderson just made it very clear for us.

A Japanese wrestling reporter Enuhito posted on Twitter that Karl “Machine Gun” Anderson revealed to him that he is going to WWE and made his final appearance for New Japan Pro Wrestling yesterday.

During the appearance, Anderson teamed with Gallows, and together they defeated The Briscoes. After the match, he told the fans that he wants to come back to become an IWGP Heavyweight contender, but he has to find out “who he is” first.

The following tweets were posted by Enuhito yesterday:

There is said to be some debate about whether or not to bring Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows to the main roster or NXT when they debut.

There is a strong possibility that they will be aligned in a new stable with Finn Balor if they debut in NXT called the” Balor Club,” which is an obvious play on the Bullet Club. However, that is not confirmed as of this writing, and we have to wait to see what WWE will do.

Do you want to see The Balor Club in NXT?
