David Finlay’s Future Uncertain Amid WWE Interest – New details have surfaced regarding the future of David Finlay, as both WWE and NJPW are reportedly monitoring his status.
Finlay, 32, is said to be a free agent following the expiration of his contract with New Japan Pro-Wrestling last month. Reports have linked him to WWE in recent weeks, with speculation growing about a possible move.
According to Fightful Select, there has been contact between Finlay and WWE. However, sources indicated that he is not currently factored into WWE creative plans. While discussions reportedly took place at one point, there have been no recent updates regarding active negotiations.
At the same time, NJPW is believed to be working to bring Finlay back. The promotion reportedly wants to retain the former IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion and has made efforts to re-sign him.
Finlay’s most recent appearance for NJPW came at NJPW The New Beginning in Osaka on February 10, where he was defeated by Callum Newman. Following the match, Finlay received a farewell moment, signaling what appears to be the end of his current run with the company.
Finlay originally joined NJPW in 2015 and became a key part of the roster over the next decade. During his tenure, he captured multiple championships and was involved in several major storylines. He also made appearances outside the promotion, including a match on AEW Dynamite against Adam Page.
With interest from WWE and NJPW still in play, Finlay’s next move remains unclear. For now, he stands as one of the most notable free agents on the market, with both companies reportedly keeping communication lines open.
