The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) seems to have recruited four new faces to beef up their roster, with reports that Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, and Karl Anderson are set to join the WWE ranks soon.
Word about such comes from MLW Radio, which reported that the four names mentioned have reportedly given New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) notice of their plans to move over to the WWE scene.
There is no word on when the four will make their appearances and where, but it looks like they will be finishing up their act first at NJPW.
Nakamura, for one, is not yet expected to leave, although it seems imminent that he will be vacating the International Wrestling Grand Prix (IWGP) intercontinental title.
He will likely follow the same plight of Alberto Del Rio who vacated the AAA mega heavyweight title as reported via Wrestling Inc. Del Rio is currently the WWE U.S. champion, something he won from John Cena at WWE Night of Champions.
Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows are still expected to appear at Ring of Honor next month in Las Vegas so it is likely they will be around the WWE by March at the earliest.
But then again, that could not bar them from making a sudden appearance which may likely be at the 2016 Royal Rumble. Of the four, Styles seems to be a cinch to appear since he is not tied up with any contract with the NJPW and the Ring of Honor.
Even though their signing hasn't been made official, the fact that they already informed NJPW officials of their intent could evidently become a minor technicality. But the question is what role will these incoming stars play?
Will the "Bullet Club" come together once again? If so, it may be under another name (in consideration of possible copyright issues).
The original faction saw AJ Styles as the leader, with Anderson and Gallows part of that faction. Would Nakamura be involved or be going at it solo?
