Report: WWE Interested In Signing Sought-After NJPW Star


According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE have an interest in acquiring the services of Gabe Kidd, who has risen through the NJPW ranks over the past few years. NJPW is naturally looking to keep hold of Kidd, as well as the rest of the War Dogs, with the company taking a different approach on how it deals with contracts and their expiry dates to avoid another mass exodus that has happened a number of times over the past few years. However, Kidd has remained in Japan since the turn of the new year and is focused on winning more gold in 2026, with an upcoming match against Andrade El Idolo at The New Beginning in Osaka event on February 11 being one that will determine the number one contender for the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship, currently held by Yota Tsuji.
