Tama Tonga last night took to Twitter to reveal how he is technically a free agent after his contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling expired last month.

Announcing that he's been a free agent since 30 January, the seven-time IWGP Tag Team Champion and four-time NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champion also reached out to AEW President Tony Khan to see if there's any interest in "burning bridges".

Tama last competed for New Japan on 15 December, teaming with Bullet Club buddies Chase Owens, Bad Luck Fale and fellow Guerrilla of Destiny Tanga Loa in a losing effort against Hiroshi Tanahashi, Yuji Nagata and the TenKoji tandem of Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima.

Since then, Tama and brother Tanga Loa have appeared in IMPACT Wrestling, siding with BC's Jay White and Chris Bey in their tangles with Violent by Design as tensions simmer between Bullet Club and the Good Brothers. At the upcoming No Surrender special on 19 February, the Guerrillas of Destiny will challenge Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows for the IMPACT Tag Team Titles.
