It was announced in Japan this morning that Pro Wrestling NOAH star KENTA will be leaving the promotion on May 17th.

We noted earlier this year that KENTA spent a week at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, working an informal tryout and training with some of the NXT talents. KENTA returned to Japan and downplayed his time at the Performance Center. He later wrote a blog about always wanting to get a spot in WWE. KENTA claimed to Japanese media that he wasn't seeking a WWE deal but he would consider it if WWE offered.

Speculation now is that KENTA is headed to WWE but that's not confirmed yet. He's been with NOAH since they launched.

If they turn him into Yoshi Tatsu 2.0  

He works waaay too stiff for WWE, it'll be Kaval/Low Ki all over again.

I wonder what stupid name they'll stick him with.

SO he's going to demand creative have something for him and if they dont he wants out? Cause that's essentially what happened with Low-Ki.

He's too old.

He's not as old as Ryback was when they had him squashing guys

and Titus O'Neil is nearly in his 40s
