Wrestling’s Powerhouses WWE and AEW Lock Eyes on Coveted Free Agent

by | Oct 3, 2023 | AEW News, News, WWE News | 0 comments

The wrestling community is all ears as rumors spread that two wrestling titans, WWE and AEW, are vying for the same international talent. This tug-of-war can potentially redefine the dynamics of professional wrestling.

Katsuhiko Nakajima, the center of all this attention, has just wrapped up his stint with Pro Wrestling NOAH. As he mulls over his next big move, both WWE and AEW have expressed their eagerness to enlist him.

Far from being a rookie, Nakajima has been leaving his mark since 2005, boasting a noteworthy track record.

His wrestling resume shines with two GHC Title victories, three GHC Junior Heavyweight Championships, and an impressive tally of six GHC Tag Team Championships.

Where Will Nakajima Land: AEW, WWE, or Maybe NJPW?

Dave Meltzer, on Wrestling Observer Radio, highlighted the growing speculation surrounding Nakajima’s upcoming decision. The rumor mill is churning, with debates about whether his next wrestling home will be AEW, WWE, or perhaps even NJPW.

Giving these rumors more traction, AEW’s Tony Khan openly expressed his admiration for Nakajima during a recent WrestleDream media session.

Nakajima, on his end, has dropped subtle hints leaning towards a partnership with AEW.

A Game-Changing Move for the Wrestling Arena

Should Nakajima seal a deal with either WWE or AEW, the ramifications are substantial. For WWE, Nakajima’s addition would bring another international luminary into their constellation of stars.

Conversely, for AEW, snagging Nakajima would reaffirm their dedication to sourcing and showcasing the best talents from around the globe.
