An idea I had regarding this whole NJPW stars to WWE rumors. What if the two companies are actually working together in all of this. It seems odd that NJPW would be in for another company taking their biggest stars, but hear me out.
What if NJPW actually wants their stars to head over to the WWE?? At first glance it looks like this only benefits the WWE. Their biggest stars are all heading to the WWE and fans from Japan will follow them and watch the WWE product. Did I mention that the WWE Network just launched in Japan???
So it seems like WWE is gaining everything here. What if NJPW's plan is to loan these guys (and their trademark Bullet Club) to the WWE for a period of time. This will allow American fans to see how talented Shinsuke Nakamura is and they would see how cool of a stable the Bullet Club is when they otherwise wouldn't know them. After they show off their skills in the American market for a period of time, they go back to NJPW, bringing plenty of new American followers with them. To me, this scenario looks like a win-win. WWE gains Japanese viewers that fall in love with the WWE product. WWE fans fall in love with NJPW guys and follow them after..
Just a fun little theory I had, but what are your thoughts?
