The wrestling world is abuzz with news of departures and potential new beginnings! One star has already bid farewell to New Japan Pro Wrestling, and another may soon follow.
Hiromu Takahashi's departure confirmed:
We've known for a few weeks that Hiromu Takahashi is leaving New Japan, and his final match took place on February 11th at The New Beginning in Osaka. In a thrilling encounter, Takahashi, along with Taiji Ishimori, defeated United Empire members Jakob Austin Young and Francesco Akira. Despite the victory, Takahashi's exit was bittersweet, as he was attacked by Akira post-match. Robbie X came to the rescue, allowing Takahashi to pass the torch to his fellow NJPW stars.
David Finlay's future in question:
But here's where things get interesting. Rumors have been swirling about David Finlay's future, with speculation that he might be entering free agency or even joining WWE, following in his father Fit's footsteps. In the same event in Osaka, Finlay ended a long-standing feud with Callum Newman and delivered an emotional farewell to the Japanese fans. He bowed, teary-eyed, and shared a moment with Takahashi, who was commentating. This has left fans wondering if Finlay is also saying goodbye to NJPW.
Where will these stars land?
The big question now is, where will these talented wrestlers go next? Will David Finlay, at 32 years old, make the move to the States and WWE? Is Takahashi also WWE-bound, where EVIL is rumored to have already signed? The wrestling world eagerly awaits their next moves.
