As PWMania.com previously reported, Kota Ibushi has left NJPW and is now a free agent.
The Twitter account @PuroresuFlow spoke with Ibushi about a possible WWE run and stated, “Kota Ibushi has told me. If the WWE allowed him to also train & create the next generation of wrestlers at the performance center. Among having some high profile matches. He would most certainly work with WWE.”
According to WrestleVotes, there was a WWE meeting in January about prospective free agents “which involved a lot of the creative team and marketing people.” It was reported that both Jay White and Ibushi were mentioned.
Ibushi competed in the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic but did not sign a contract with WWE.
