Katsuhiko Nakajima Receives Interest from AEW, WWE, and NJPW – The ongoing wrestling rivalry between WWE and AEW continues to intensify, and it appears that the internationally renowned free agent, Katsuhiko Nakajima, has emerged as a sought-after talent by both promotions.
Katsuhiko Nakajima recently concluded his tenure with Pro Wrestling NOAH and is currently contemplating his future in professional wrestling. With a career that began in 2005, Nakajima has achieved remarkable success, including winning the GHC Title twice, the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship three times, and the GHC Tag Team Championship an impressive six times.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed rumors surrounding Nakajima’s potential signing with AEW, WWE, or NJPW, adding to the speculation surrounding his next destination.
“Nakajima. He [Tony Khan at the WrestleDream media scrum] talked about him, too. Yeah, he said that he’s got interest in Nakajima and he thinks Nakajima has got interested in them. And Nakajima is finishing up with NOAH, his contract has already expired with Noah, but he’s doing a few more matches this month and nobody in Japan knows where he’s going. I’ve got friends in Japan who have speculated WWE, New Japan, very high in the speculation. When Tony was asked, he said that they were very interested, too. So, I would suspect it’s one of those three. When he was leaving, it was pretty much going to be one of those three places because why else would he be leaving? I don’t think at all that he fits with WWE. He’s a great worker. It reminds me too much of when Kenta went, a disaster. He was there for years. He got all messed up because he knew that if he worked the way he worked in Japan with the hard kicking and everything and the very physical style, he knew that everybody would say he was too stiff. It wouldn’t go. So he lightened up his style and tried to work American.”
AEW President Tony Khan, during the WrestleDream media scrum, confirmed the promotion’s interest in signing Katsuhiko Nakajima, and it appears that Nakajima has reciprocated that interest.
