Earlier this week it was announced the WWE and AJPW, struck a deal that many believed to have the Japanese promotion become a developmental territory for the WWE. However, new details suggest it is a talent exchange agreement.
It is believed that the talent exchange is in preparation for the WWE’s rumored upcoming Cruiserweight show, which would see a heavy influx from Japan, Mexico and the American independent scene.
There are also rumors of the Big Show making appearances in AJPW in exchange for The Great Muta appearing on WWE television. Nothing is confirmed yet.
Some Japanese cruiserweights on the cruiser show would be killer. And Great Muta on wwe TV? Nice.
