Time for this gem to be finally released
I thought that was a Twitter thing.
he's def. just dropping it to Hikuleo in November imo. NJPW will get a few tweets worth of promotion and that will be that.So it looks like Karl is booked on November 5 to defend his title at an NJPW show. I was assuming he'd drop it to someone at WK bc I didn't see them giving Hikuleo a title run so early but maybe they won't have a choice? Maybe Trips goes wild and returns them soon and still let's them work Wrestle Kingdom in January?
its a pretty "wtv" belt but while champion from elsewhere is probably extremely rare, both AJ and Punk signed contract that let them finish up elsewhere. I want to say maybe Punk MIGHT have been roh champ at some point? unsureIt’s crazy Karl Anderson returned to WWE when he’s still champ in another company. I didn’t know that was allowed lmao

I mean, pretty close:Yeah but they didn’t debut with WWE while champ.
Yeah I know about the summer of punk but he didn’t debut until dropping the belt lol. But I guess they’ll just let him drop it.I mean, pretty close:
Punk went on to win the title from Austin Aries in June 2005 even though Punk had already accepted a deal from WWE. In what became known as the “Summer of Punk,” he repeatedly threatened to take the ROH World Title with him to WWE before losing it that August.
I think its a nice touch but I very much doubt this means anything other than Anderson was a free agent while being champ and ill just drop it whenever he can. If he has more than one njpw date booked, Im sure WWE will let him finish up. I doubt it means any sort of partnership, just that with Vince gone WWE can not only do this kind of stuff but also acknowledge other companies if they so choose.
