Fightful: NJPW star is working without contract + WWE's interest
Fightful has learned that former Bullet Club member Tama Tonga has long been working without a NJPW deal. Fightful reported back in January that WWE had interest in Tama Tonga, to the point that there were some tentative creative ideas pitched for him. However, since then, Fightful has learned that he’d been a victim of the unofficial hiring freeze and WWE had not maintained contact with him. However, Fightful has heard that WWE higher ups did continue interest in Tama.
It was also reported that, “Tama has continued to work with New Japan Pro Wrestling without a contract for several months. However, he dropped the NEVER Openweight Title at NJPW Wrestling Dontaku to new Bullet Club leader David Finlay. There was a stretcher-job angle after that.”
