New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) has ran new angles at their recently concluded Dash event suggesting that both AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura are on their way out of the company heating up the rumours that both the superstars are heading to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

The rumours have taken up more steam since WWE’s official website has posted an article regarding the arrival of Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows along with Styles and Nakamura.

“Reports began circulating late Sunday that all four had reportedly given their notices to New Japan management. Fuelling the rumours that Styles, Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows were WWE-bound was a series of tweets involving reigning NXT Champion Finn Bálor.” WWE’s official website posted.
