WWE is definitely open to working with other wrestling companies now. Theyve been teaming up with Pro Wrestling NOAH for a while and have had good success with it. Recently, NOAH wrestler Yoshiki Inamura joined WWE and had his first match at an NXT live event.
Shawn Michaels welcomed Yoshiki Inamura, a standout from Pro Wrestling NOAH, to the WWE Performance Center, where he began training. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Inamura officially joined NXT. It was noted that unlike Giulia, who moved permanently, his deal is more like a temporary excursion.
Inamura made a quick appearance on WWE NXT TV during the November 12th episode, meeting with NXT General Manager Ava alongside Briggs. Fans were eagerly waiting to see him make his in-ring debut.
During the November 16 NXT live event in Tampa, Florida, Inamura teamed up with Briggs in an NXT Tag Team Championship match. However, the defending champions, Axiom and Nathan Frazer, retained their titles by winning the match.
While Yoshiki Inamura was unable to win his in-ring debut, fans were still impressed with what he was able to show inside the squared circle. Fans are definitely excited to see Yoshiki Inamura develop as a competitor in the coming weeks, as the future is bright for him.
