Update On Another Free Agent Rumored To Join WWE Or AEW

WWE/AEW

Katsuhiko Nakajima has finished up with Pro Wrestling NOAH and his future could see him heading to either WWE or AEW.

Nakajima debuted for NOAH in July 2005 and is a former two-time GHC Champion, three-time GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion and has held the GHC Tag Team Championship on six occasions.

With Nakajima still working for NOAH without a contract, Dave Meltzer has provided an update on the 35-year-old’s future.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed:

“(Katsuhiko) Nakajima is finishing up with NOAH.

WHis contract has already expired with NOAH, but he’s doing a few more matches this month, and nobody in Japan knows where he’s going.

“I’ve got friends in Japan who have speculated WWE. New Japan (is) very high in the speculation. And when Tony (Khan) was asked, he said that (AEW’s) very interested too.

“When he was leaving, it was pretty much gonna be one of those three places because why else would he be leaving?”
