David Finlay’s NJPW Contract Nearing Expiration – David Finlay, the reigning IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, could potentially explore free agency as his New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) contract is set to expire soon. This timing aligns with NJPW’s customary mid-January contract renewal period, raising speculation about the star’s future with the promotion.
According to a report by Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, sources within NJPW anticipate that Finlay will remain with the company. These sources also highlighted NJPW’s interest in retaining Finlay, reflecting his value as a prominent figure on their roster. Over the past year, Finlay has been positioned as a top star and has led the War Dogs faction, solidifying his place within the promotion.
Finlay’s immediate future is packed with high-stakes matchups. At Wrestle Kingdom 19 this Saturday, he is scheduled to defend his title against Yota Tsuji in what promises to be a thrilling contest. The action continues the next day at Wrestle Dynasty, where Finlay will face AEW’s Brody King in a singles bout, further showcasing his cross-promotional appeal.
Notably, a year ago, Finlay openly discussed the possibility of working in WWE alongside his father, Fit Finlay, and his brother, Brogan, who is currently making strides under Uriah Connors name on the WWE NXT roster. While NJPW seems eager to secure his services, Finlay’s history and family ties to WWE could play a role in any decision regarding his future.
As the wrestling world watches closely, Finlay’s next move could have significant implications for NJPW and beyond.
