WWE Has Reportedly Shown Interest In NJPW’s Tama Tonga

[Dale]

WWE has expressed interest in another star from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

According to Fightful Select, new IWGP NEVER Openweight champion Tama Tonga has been on WWE’s radar for quite some time as they had made him an offer seven years ago, one that he turned down so he could continue to compete with his brother, Tanga Loa, in NJPW. The report mentions that WWE’s interest in Tonga was circulating backstage at NJPW’s recent WrestleKingdom 17 pay-per-view.

Speaking of WrestleKingdom…Tonga defeated his longtime friend/rival Karl Anderson, who currently works for WWE. The two men were OG members of the legendary Bullet Club faction in NJPW that also included members like Finn Balor, AJ Styles, Adam Cole, Kenny Omega, and more.​

They had his brother, now they want him

Are they looking to snatch up the whole familiar unit? I heard they wanted Hikuleo too.

 

[Smart Marx]

Tama has been incredibly loyal to Japan so it would be kinda weird, but imagine him against the Bloodline. It writes itself.

If Tanga goes, he needs to shoot on Camacho.

Dude, how wild would it be if Tama Tonga joins the OC after everything that went down between him and Karl in 2022?

It'd make no sense, honestly.

WWE doesn’t generally care that much.

Technically speaking when the OC first formed in 2016 it was only two months after the good brothers had actually helped Kenny Omega kick AJ styles out of the bullet club.

New Japan though kind of laid the groundwork though because Karl and Tama seemingly made up and hugged it out and had beers.

I was waiting for this lol

 

[Storm Trooper]

Wait... can he sign with WWE now please? This way the Never Openweight Champion can be a WWE Superstar?

We haven't seen that in.... 3 whole days. Then Tama Tonga can drop the Championship to Hikuleo...

WWE doesn’t generally care that much.

Which is why I tend to have more problems with it than I should.
