Tama Tonga recently bid farewell to New Japan Pro Wrestling after a 14-year tenure to return to the US and prioritize time with his family.
On a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that WWE has been interested in signing Tonga for quite some time.
Although there were discussions about bringing Tonga to WWE previously, he chose to remain with NJPW. His recent departure may reignite those talks between the two sides.
