NXT is growing. We’ve seen what a proven success NXT UK has proven to be and Triple H has discussed the potential of a Japanese and Indian Performance Center. Regarding the former, it appears that NXT also plans on having a new promotion in Japan. According to this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter , WWE has sent out feelers regarding potential working relationships with Japanese promotions for an NXT Japan.
NXT has had success with Japanese Stars such as Asuka, and Shinsuke Nakamura. Currently, there are Io Shirai and Kairi Sane signed to the promotion. Hideo Itami just left to go back to Japan, but perhaps that can also be seen as a positive when it’s time to build relationships with a promotion like NOAH.
