Mystery NJPW Wrestlers Set To Sign With AEW?
All Elite Wrestling's signing drive continues...
It looks like All Elite Wrestling are on the verge of boosting their growing roster with the acquisition of two new wrestlers currently working for New Japan Pro Wrestling, according to Voices Of Wrestling's Patreon show (paywall).
The specific identities of said wrestlers are yet to be confirmed, though Dave Meltzer has hinted at similar news recently, and the current working rumour has midcard tag team Chuckie T. and Beretta (also known as Best Friends) as the signees.
Neither are under full-time NJPW or Ring Of Honor contract, so AEW would be free to approach them. On top of this, Best Friends were booked to lose their last ROH tag match (versus Juice Robinson and David Finlay) decisively, and they've been working a tension angle in New Japan, suggesting they might be on their way out of the promotion.
Beretta will challenge for Robinson's IWGP United States Championship on NJPW's upcoming New Beginning in USA tour. Taylor will also wrestle on these cards, and we'll likely learn more on their future after they conclude.
21-year-old indie star 'Jungle Boy' Nate Coy has also signed with AEW in recent days, as confirmed by Wrestling News World's Thomas Fenton.
