Rumor: Tajiri Signs New Contract With WWE

Many within the WWE Universe are going to remember Yoshihiro Tajiri from his run in WWE during the 00’s. He was both a fan favorite who could wrestle and do comedy, and a heel.

Tajiri was a multiple time Cruiserweight Champion during his tenure with WWE and has recently returned to the company for the “Cruiserweight Classic” series. However, there is a rumor that he’ll be staying longer than that.

According to Wrestlezone.com and many other sources, he has signed a new contract with WWE and will be staying with the company after the “Cruiserweight Classic” concludes.

What’s interesting is Tajiri was asked about returning to WWE, but it didn’t seem like he was that interested in returning to WWE:

“At some point I would like to return as an old man, and do a very slow slide into the ring, and a handspring elbow. I was able to do everything except heavyweight and intercontinental titles, so there’s not much left for me to do. Many who were fired seem to want to come back, but I don’t feel that way. I think I’ve done everything I can as a Japanese guy this size.”

Are you excited to see Tajiri sign a new contract with WWE?
