Latest On AJ Styles To WWE, Major Bullet Club Angle At NJPW Show, Rumors of more NJPW Talent Leaving

AJ Styles who is rumored to have given his notice to New Japan Pro Wrestling for a WWE main roster spot, has been pulled from advertising from several Ring of Honor shows, including the ROH 14th Anniversary PPV.

NJPW ran a angle where Bullet Club member Kenny Omega turned on AJ Styles after they defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and YOSHI-HASHI. the rest of Bullet Club including Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows also turned on Styles.

After the beatdown by the Bullet Club, Styles got to his feet and bowed to the crowd it what really seemed like a farewell for Styles, who has competed in NJPW since 2014, and took leadership of the Bullet Club after Finn Balor left.

 

Wrestling Observer Radio reports that there were also rumors that Rocky Romero and Tama Tonga may be leaving NJPW as well, but there is no word on if they have given their notices. Tonga is the son of legend Haku/Meng.

It was also noted that Styles and Nakamura were apparently Not signed to be on the NXT roster and have a high price tag. Word is they were not signed for that brand, indicating main roster plans, but they still could be sent down to NXT to work a few shows.

Nakamura is not coming in right away and is expected to drop his title and work a notice, unlike Alberto Del Rio with AAA.

As noted earlier, Styles is likely done with ROH going forward and could come in soon, possibly in the Royal Rumble Match.
