The news of WWE offering a deal to New Japan standout Tetsuya Naito has sent shockwaves around the entire wrestling world. Naito is one of the most Charismatic stars in not only the New Japan but the entire wrestling world. The former IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion has time and time again proved that he is fiercely loyal to New Japan and him refusing to sign with the WWE is the most recent example of that.

According to a recent report from Tokyo Sport, Naito was offered a WWE Contract after his loss to Chris Jericho at Dominion in June but he turned it down almost immediately. Naito revealed in the interview with the publication that he isn't interested in going to the WWE and wants to focus on New Japan Carrer as he believes that they are the best wrestling promotion in the world. Naito also took potshots at the current management saying that they should focus on their home crowd rather expanding internationally.

Naito's words couldn't be clearer and the man remains adamant on sticking with New Japan. Although someone like him would be a big catch for the company, it is unlikely that the leader of Los Ignorables de Japon will ever sign with the WWE especially after the treatment meted out to his former colleague and Current United States Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura.
