KUSHIDA was such a big name in NJPW as he had won multiple titles, such as becoming a 6-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion as well as winning the Best of the Super Junior tournament twice in 2015 and 2017. This is the main reason why Kushida is regardest as one of the best independent wrestlers in the world today.
It has been reported for a while now that KUSHIDA is set to sign with the WWE, with the Wrestling Observer stating that KUSHIDA's intentions for wanting to sign with the number one company are because "Jushin Liger told him he should go to WWE as part of his career experience."
With Jushin Liger being an influential wrestler in Japan, there is no doubt that KUSHIDA would listen to him.
However, many people in the wrestling world are worried about KUSHIDA joining WWE due to Hideo Itami's exit, as Meltzer also had stated that KUSHIDA wouldn't be a good fit for WWE or NXT as he "doesn't have the over-the-top charisma that Nakamura or Asuka have."
Do you agree with any of these choices of potential wrestlers who may sign with the WWE? If not, who else do you think will possibly join WWE? Let us know in the comment section below!
