Recently Shinsuke Nakamura was allowed to participate in the Great Muta’s retirement tour in Pro Wrestling NOAH, while AJ Styles hype man and Good Brother Karl Anderson was allowed to defend his NEVER Openweight Championship at NJPW’s flagship event Wrestle Kingdom.

With that in mind, here are eight more WWE stars who could appear in NJPW throughout 2023:
