10 WWE Superstars You Didn't Know Wrestled In New Japan

New Japan Pro Wrestling fever has gripped the WWE Universe! The year started off with the shocking announcement that top NJPW stars AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson, and Doc Gallows were headed to WWE and, since then, fan speculation has run wild - how will the new talent fare? Will WWE host a Bullet Club reunion? What will Finn Balor's involvement be? Answers are starting to form. AJ Styles debuted in the 2016 Royal Rumble match, entering at #3 to a huge reaction and lasting nearly 28 minutes. Not only were fans elated to see Styles, but the reception for the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion carried over to Raw and Smackdown, too! Styles' debut was followed by the news that Nakamura - who spent his entire career in New Japan - would be making his NXT debut at the Pre-WrestleMania TakeOver: Dallas show. While there's been no word on when Anderson and Gallows will arrive in the company, news will presumably come after they finish their NJPW commitments this month. All four men are talented competitors who will be worthy additions to the WWE roster, but they're far from the first New Japan alumni to compete in WWE. Even now, the company's roster is full of men who have plied their trade across the Pacific, winning adulation from fans at the Tokyo Dome, Ryogoku Kokugikan, and Korakuen Hall. Here are ten WWE superstars that you (perhaps) didn't know wrestled for New Japan.
