WWE President Nick Khan has been talking with New Japan Pro-Wrestling over a working relationship, according to a report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The idea is that WWE will be the exclusive American company to crossover with Japan’s biggest wrestling promotion.
The report also includes that it would involve WWE sending talent and top stars to work in NJPW, but the report isn’t clear if NJPW would send its performers outside of Japan. If this colossal deal would go through, it has huge ramifications for NJPW’s relationship with American companies like Ring of Honor, Impact Wrestling, and of course, AEW. It’s worth noting that former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, is also the current IWGP United States Champion.
