I know I'm alone in this but I have no interest in seeing AJ and Nakamura in NXT. Wrestling other Indy guys.
Give them the big spotlight shot.

But Im not gonna protest if they all just go up to the main roster, but not many do that anymore...

Has Shiozaki re-signed or is he still rumored to join NJPW.

There are good matchups for them with those indy guys and I'm not "not interested" in them, but I feel like there is only so much time for them to get a run at the big spotlight.

I do think they should hit the main roster, absolutely. However, with NXT being the smark paradise inside the WWE machine, I believe openly capitalizing on the Bullet Club and having some heavy involvement in NXT for a few months would be showcased the best on that platform. Allow the smarks to have their markgasm, see where it goes. If Triple H is intent on making NXT a full-on touring brand alongside the main roster, this is the kind of talent acquisition that can help make that move. On the other hand, you'd have these guys in your pocket in case you need to drop a giant talent bomb on the main roster come the summer lull. Either way, NXT first.. main roster later.

Enuhito has nothing on this, but interestingly enough, Akiyama has started shit with Nagata/Kojima/Tenzan/Nakanishi on Twitter today. So maybe, NJPW/AJPW/NOAH cooperation coming?
Suwama & Shiozaki to NJPW?

Guys gotta go through NXT no matter if they are a big multi time world champion competing in front of tens of thousands or a guy who's highlight was being the opening match in a crowd of 150 in a barn, it's now mandatory for them to go through NXT.

I think H is creating his own brand and bypassing the WWE inheritance. I legit think he's tired of waiting for Vince and Dunn to go away so he's making his own company with Vince's dime.

If anything WWE helped out NJPW NJPW needed fresh blood especially into the main event and WWE grabs talent they will no doubt waste and have no idea how to use. You talk like if NJPW did an excelent job building anyone not named Tanahashi, Okada, Nakamura and Styles

I have my own theories about that. Wall Street can't be trilled at the idea of a wrestler succeeding Vince but it would help if WWE can say "this is the guy who turned our development league, which was always a loss leader, into a successful international touring brand".

this is going to sting NJPW hard. With Nakamura and Styles are part of their big 4 and responsible for many great matches and gates in last 2 years. and they are also way too good for NXT
hope Gedo rethinks 1 yr rolling contract strategy. they are going to lose many stars

Meltzer just confirmed that WWE has acquired Styles, Anderson, Gallows, and Nakamura.

NXT is technically a loss leader at the moment since it doesn't make a profit, but it's very effective one. Beforehand it might have been a loss leader, but a bad one at that.
I'm pretty sure NOAH is either partially owned by New Japan or its parent company or they are financially reliant on them.

I expect the Bucks once their deal with ROH is up by years end are next. Only if they start acting like the SST or Headshrinkers in WWE.

Can they use the Bullet Club name? Didn't Anderson and Balor come up with it?

Signing them is quite the coupe Using them correctly I have absoloutley no faith in I am interested in how long the deals are for...I expect the Bucks once their deal with ROH is up by years end are next. The Young Bucks in WWE is quite possibly the most revolting prospect I can imagine. Cannot stand those two. Never in my history as a wrestling fan have I seen "Complete inability and unwillingness to tell a story during a match" somehow spun as a positive by so many people.

If it's true, never seen anything like this. This is TNA-level bad, New Japan loses half the bullet club, arguably the only ones that matter. They lose Nakamura who is part of their big 4. Probably the biggest jump since the Radicalz.
