Because WWE plans to have three touring brands by 2016, with NXT being one of them, the company wants to load up on as much talent as possible. Styles is currently the IWGP Champion in New Japan, and while he is reportedly content there, WWE is interested in signing him.

In addition to the Main Roster and NXT, what is the 3rd touring brand?

His schedule is light in japan.
I know but a schedule that's primarily based in the USA and you can still work Indy dates ? Roh or nxt would be smart to offer the deal that kept him closer to home :yeshrug: plus his deals up in January anyway I believe

As a fan, I don't want him to be just "one more guy" in WWE. He's now in a position of prominence he truly deserves.

But if that benefits him, if he can spend more time with his family, why not?

Why would he leave Japan when he's doing well over there? I don't see it happening unless Vince plans on backing up a Brinks truck full of cash on AJ's lawn or something

I dont think they'll be able to match his guarantee plus they won't allow him to appear on TV if the deal is a joe deal


I dont wanna see it because now the shyt is starting to feel like a raid

A lot of y'all are missing the point of what WWE is doing right now. People have been asking for an alternative to the E's fukkery so they are creating one. They are never going to change the main roster style too drastically because besides people like us the fans enjoy it. So they are throwing us a bone in the form of NXT because there is a market for it. They are creating an entertaining secondary brand they control which allows them to fill a niche and create dream matches at any time.

Since they seem to want to make NXT more than just a farm system now it makes sense to want to bring in people that wouldn't mean much on the main roster but will Shine with the NXT crowd. Say they sign Styles and let him, Joe and Owens be the faces of the NXT brand while still having the occasional big name match on the main roster but still making it clear that NXT is important and where they want to be. That seems to be the point of the Owens Cena match, to put over the NXT belt as being just as important as any belt on the main roster. If Owens wins it goes a long way in putting NXT over as a brand.

I realize he probably doesn't know him or who he is I understand it is like that with alot of talent when they first come in including Steve Austin and Jericho.

It is a raid. They are trying to hoard indy talent for NxT.
