According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is really trying to establish a new brand in Japan.

WWE has been attempting to make moves to set up NXT Japan but it’s become very difficult due to Japanese culture. But that was very high on the priority list and a lot of deals were offered and looked into.
This would be a part of Triple H’s “Global Localization” plan for WWE. He has been vocal about wanting to establish Performance Centers and brands around the world. It looks like Japan is the next major target for the company.
