We have an interesting rumor to pass your way. This comes after the latest rumors about WWE attempting to further establish themselves in Japan.
On Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here), Dave Meltzer noted that WWE has attempted to purchase some Japanese companies recently to start NXT Japan.
Here is what Meltzer said (h/t to Ringside News for the quote below):
“They’re definitely working on it. They’ve talked to a number of companies in Japan. They’ve tried to buy companies in Japan. I don’t know of any deals that have gone through. The ones I’ve heard about didn’t go through. They wanted to buy NOAH, so it didn’t go through.”
“There’s talk about different people being hired as Japanese trainers, big names. I don’t wanna say until I get it confirmed, but there are two big names that have gone around as far as them hiring. Yeah, they wanna do NXT Japan, absolutely. They’ve been making moves in that direction.”
How would you feel about NXT Japan? Let me know in the comment section below.
