He’s New: WWE Reportedly Signs Former New Japan Star

Welcome to the family. WWE is a huge wrestling company with all kinds of talent on its roster. Despite having so many wrestlers to pick from, at some point, some changes need to be made and new blood needs to be brought in. That can allow for some changes and upgrade, which is what we are seeing today, as a star from another promotion seems to have come over to WWE.

According to PWInsider.com, former New Japan star Karl Fredericks has signed with WWE and could begin with NXT and at the Performance Center as soon as next week. Fredericks began wrestling in 2015 and trained at the New Japan LA Dojo from 2018-2022. His New Japan contract expired in August and he announced that he would not be re-signing with the company.

Opinion: This is an interesting way to go as WWE continues to bring in stars from other wrestling promotions rather than other sports. There are all kinds of athletes from sports other than wrestling but bringing in other wrestlers saves all kinds of time. Fredericks is someone who he done rather well elsewhere and it would make sense to have him do the same in WWE.

What do you think of the signing? How will Fredericks do in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
