STRICTLY RUMORZ: Nakamura, AJ and The Bullet Club leaving NJPW this month???

[Honga Ciganesta]

I don't like this, I don't like it at all BUT at least we're starting the year off right fukkery wise Total raid job to begin with

Didn't someone leave & come back and then never got the push they once did.

I remember meltzer telling the story but not remembering who it was.

Kenzo Suzuki. That's one of the worst wrestlers I've ever seen in my life. There's literally no comparison with Nakamura.

Okada was a joke in the US and came back as the next big Ace.

Yoshi fukking Tatsu came back as a big deal after his nothing WWE run.

We are talking about the 2nd biggest japanese star in the last 10 years. He's gonna be seen as bigger deal no matter what, and if he has even some success? It's over, as @Big Boss would say.

They could tie this into Balor going to the main roster. Have KA AJ Gallows show up with Balor. They'd fukk it up though

Sounds like piff, never gonna happen

Expect Cena to steal the Bom-Ba-Ye in time for Fast Lane

It'll be a spring board version......and it'll look fukked up everytime

AJ Styles, Bullet Club stars reportedly give notice to NJPW, may sign with WWE

Meanwhile, on Monday's episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE may be planning a small-scale raid of New Japan. According to Meltzer, WWE is going after Styles, current IWGP Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and former three-time IWGP tag team champions Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson.

Meltzer says where the four men are going to go, or when, is still "up in the air" at this time. He said that TNA was interested in Anderson, but WWE may have swooped in and grabbed him instead. Meltzer believes that if Nakamura signs with WWE, he will stay long enough to drop the Intercontinental Championship, so it won't be another situation like Alberto Del Rio signing with the company and not being allowed to drop his AAA Mega Championship.

Styles is one of the most-decorated wrestlers to have never been under contract with WWE. In addition to being a two-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion, he held the Pure Wrestling Championship and the World Tag Team Championship in Ring of Honor. For over a decade, he was synonymous with TNA. During his time with TNA, he was a three-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, four-time NWA World Tag Team Champion, two-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, six-time X Division Champion and two-time TNA Tag Team Champion, in addition to being the first TNA Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion.

Nakamura is one of the biggest stars in all of Japan and a national celebrity. He is a five-time IWGP Intercontinental Champion, 3-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion, one-time Tag Team Champion and winner of the 2011 G1 Climax. He has publicly stated his interest in working for WWE several times.

Gallows may be well-known to WWE fans as Festus (one-half of Jesse and Festus) or Luke Gallows, former member of CM Punk's Straight Edge Society. His earliest claim to fame was as a "Fake Kane" in 2006.

Karl Anderson was a mainstay in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla before heading to New Japan, where he has worked steadily since 2008. In addition to his three IWGP tag titles with Gallows, he also won the titles with Giant Bernand, also known as Albert or Tensai (or current NXT head trainer Matt Bloom) in the WWE.

No way in hell Nakamura is still gonna be in NJPW for the Chicago ROH show. Gotta look up flights now

 

[Jmare007]

I think he pines to be the top guy. Cesaro doesn't strike me as a "just happy to be here" type of guy



Bucks had WWE deals on the table and turned them down, had to be similar at least to AJ's

AJ also rejected a WWE deal when he left TNA. He either got a good offer or just wants to work there, nothing ROH can do about that.


And there's nothing ROH can offer Nakamura that can be more appealing than WWE.

Man i want TNA to do SOMETHING

It's Nakamura I worry for, I don't really care Bullet Club or even AJ wise. We got two peak years from him and, with the recent back injury, I can see why he'd want to make some money.

I get where you're coming from with the NJPW booking though, could be forced to freshen things up. #ShibataForICChamp

Watch Nakamura feud with Goto till he leaves now

Worst case scenario Nakamura is gone of 1-2 years and comes back for fresh match ups. Best case scenario we see him beast in a different setting and then come back as a god. I'm ok with that :purogang:
