It's being reported that Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows are being signed by WWE.

Dammit WWE, why do you have to wait till I've stopped watching you to do this?

As noted last night, F4WOnline.com is reporting that New Japan Pro Wrestling stars AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura are finishing up with New Japan and are heading to WWE.

According to PWInsider.com, during last night’s New Japan Pro Wrestling Dash event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan, The Bullet Club turned on AJ Styles and Kenny Omega took control of the group. This was said to be Styles’ last appearance for NJPW.

As for Nakamura, Omega later defeated the current IWGP Intercontinental Champion in a tag team match, setting up a title shot for Omega down the line. If Nakamura is indeed heading to WWE, he needs to drop the title at some point, and Omega looks to be the ideal candidate for a title run since he is getting a pretty big push at the moment.

I think The Bullet Club is going to last into the Fall if they're lucky.

Going from Styles to Omega is a big down grade. Well it a tough spot for anyone to follow Styles.

And they are also losing other core members.

Tokyo Sports is reporting Shinsuke Nakamura will leave New Japan Pro Wrestling by the end of the month.

Also I heard AJ Styles dropped his ROH dates.

AJ Styles in the WWE?
I just hope that, if they are going through with the "Balor Club" gimmick, at least make them "the thing" in the Tag Team division, because they're definitely needing some boost on that department. (And with those additions to the roster, that would be very interesting to watch imo)

^Could have AJ (+Anderson and Gallows) feud with Balor?

I hear word AJ nor Nakamura are going NXT but straight to the main roster.

They're probably making too much money to be used in NXT

In all fairness, they're in a whole different league compared to those in NXT (the rookies) and I don't think WWE will just give them a Part-Time contract "just because". If they're going this far to hire new talent, then they're going to invest "a bit more" into it. (or at least, imo, they should).

Styles and Nakamura are light years ahead of anyone in NXT.

It would be a joke if Gallows was sent to NXT. This dude wrestles WWE's style and of course he was in WWE for years.

Plus they're at that age if you're going to get any use out of them it's going to be now.

AJ and Nakamura are far ahead of the NXT roster...but I bet they wouldn't mind to actually be apart of the better roster after a few months on the main roster they be begging to go down there.

Bull

I honestly expect them to go down there because WWE wants to brainwash everyone.

The only way Nakamura goes to NXT is if they need him to brush up on the American style of wrestling

NXT is the better show overall and they will be used right in NXT. The main roster I doubt it they will be used right at all. NXT pretty much isn't the farm area anymore it is pretty much it's own thing.

I think WWE would try to get him to wrestle the WWE style.

They're being paid way too much money to be used NXT

And I do think of it as a farm territory. The ultimate goal of most people in NXT should be getting ready to wrestle on WWE's main roster.

Well with how crappy the main roster show, I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to go to the main roster. If was a pro wrestler and I got to sign with WWE...I would love to fucking stay in NXT as long as I could.

AJ Styles needs to make as much money as he can and he's not going to do that in NXT

WWE is paying him big cash no matter which roster he is on.

They pay people less to be in NXT.

if they are newer guys on the Scene. I'm sure guys like Sami, Joe, and Finn are probably very well paid...and probably paid more then most main roster guys.

If by main roster guys you mean Heath Slater

I mean like they probably get the same amount as Ziggler...hell I bet they probably make more then him. The contract AJ Styles agree to I'm sure is a large amount of money if WWE wanted him that badly. So which ever roster they put AJ on he will get that money he agree to in his contract. Nxt or main he is getting the money he agree to.

There's no way anyone in NXT makes more than Dolph Zigger

Or even as much as him

This isn't OVW. I'm sure a lot of the bigger Indy names WWE has signed Like Kenta, Devitt, joe, and Sami all are making a good amounts of money and probably the same amount if not more then most of the main roster because that is probably what they ask for in their contracts. People like Corbin, Jason Jordan, Bull, and others like them are probably not paid much because they aren't the big indy names.
