As previously reported here on eWrestlingNews.com, Kota Ibushi was backstage and shown on camera during the WWE NXT Takeover: Dallas Network special. WWE.com also published an article regarding his appearance. Dave Meltzer is reporting that it is currently unknown if Ibushi has signed a WWE or NXT contract.
Ibushi is rumored to have agreed to terms for the upcoming WWE Global Cruiserweight Series. The WWE.com article teased that Ibushi could participate in the tournoment.
Also, it should be known within the next week or so if Ricochet, aka Prince Puma in Lucha Underground, will be heading to WWE or not. Ricochet is currently holding the IWGP jr. heavyweight tag team titles with Matt Sydal. Ricochet’s current Lucha Underground contract reportedly states he’s allowed to leave the company after the third season of the show airs on TV. And it would apparently be very easy to write him off the show after the last set of Lucha Underground TV tapings.
