Independent star Chris Dickinson has announced that he has signed an agreement with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
The NJPW STRONG regular stated that he’s still able to compete on the independent scene, and internationally, outside Japan.
Dickinson took to Instagram to confirm that NJPW is now his home, writing:
“I am beyond proud to announce that I have officially signed an agreement with New Japan Pro Wrestling. I’ve heard you all for years say I should sign with other companies and I appreciate everyone of your hopes for my success but this is what I’ve always wanted.
“With the companies expansion in the USA on the rise and Japan finally reopening, the future is brighter than ever.
“I am still available to work independently in the USA and internationally excluding Japan but NJPW is now home. Let’s continue to bring the highest level of pro wrestling to the world together.”
Dickinson has been regularly appearing on NJPW US shows since January 2021, most recently wrestling during Sunday’s (April 10) NJPW STRONG Mutiny taping. You can read spoilers from this taping right here.
Back in Japan, NJPW is preparing for Wrestling Dontaku 2022, which will air on May 1 on NJPW World. The company recently announced the full card for this event, including a match for the vacant IWGP US Championship.
