NJPW Star Rumored to Be Heading to WWE Talent Reportedly Signs 2 Year Deal with New Japan Pro Wrestling

January 8, 2016

Romero was rumored to be heading to WWE for a trainer position, however Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com is reporting Romero has re-signed with New Japan for 2 more years.

Sources close to the situation told Satin that Romero had been working on a “handshake deal” with New Japan, but once the wrestling company caught wind of WWE’s interest, they began trying to lock him down.

The reported talent exodus from NJPW to WWE is what helped sway management into offering Romero a new deal, and while Romero was entertaining the idea of heading to WWE, he wanted to continue wrestling as opposed to take a trainer position.
