1). WWE commentary mentions New Japan Pro Wrestling
WWE rarely ever mention any promotions other than themselves or the companies that they have bought out over the years such as WCW and ECW. They refer to TNA as ‘that company in Florida’ despite having signed a host of former TNA stars in recent years.
They never mentioned New Japan when they signed AJ Styles. When Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows debuted on Raw last night, Michael Cole mentioned New Japan on commentary. If you don’t realize how earth-shattering that moment is, check out @WWECreative_ish’s tweet during Raw.
