With news that WWE is trying their best to put an end to AEW, how would that impact NJPW if they're successful?
It would be very helpful for NJPW if that happened but I don't think you'd see a lot of AEW guys sign up to be full time members of the roster. I feel like the WWE would sign a handful of top AEW guys – White, Okada, MJF, and a few others. But WWE wouldn't need to sign a lot of them.
You'd have some sign with TNA because with TNA as the #2 promotion in the US, they'll have better tv deals to pay guys more.
What will benefit NJPW will be having a bigger group of wrestlers who'll freelance and be available to come in for tournaments and big shows without being beholden to AEW for how they're booked. Plus there's a really good chance they'd get Takeshita full time.
The big question would be where would guys like Ospreay, Juice, Moxley and Omega, who don't really seem like they'd be WWE guys, end up?
