During a recent interview with Tokyo Sports, Kota Ibushi said he did not meet with WWE officials regarding the possibility of signing a contract during the NXT Takeover: Dallas event. For what it’s worth, multiples sources are claiming that WWE wouldn’t put him on TV if they weren’t positive he was coming in. Of course, many signees downplay the media reports and this may be another example of that. Ibushi claimed during the interview that he’ll be working for the IGF promotion in Japans later this year.
Enuhito, a Japan pro wrestling wrestler, tweeted the following regarding Shinsuke Nakamura:
Nakamura said “The first person I met after my debut match in WWE was Vince Mcmahon. We shook hands. Vince smiled.”
