HHH probably sent her to scout the talent and get to know them more deeply so they can raid Stardom and ensure they don’t get some toxic locker room presence.
I believe he said they’re reinitiating some of those global NXT franchises they planned pre-pandemic

Man if they actually do NXT Japan she’s gotta play an integral part in that

Wasn't that before Vince returned to sell? If so then Endeavour is probably putting those plans on hold for the time being.

NXT global was something they have talked about for years dating back long before HHH’s health problems. When they shuttered NXT UK they were supposed to be going in a new direction with it. At this point it’s an I’ll believe it when I see it type deal.

WWE in Japan is going to be a pretty steep uphill battle and they’ll likely have to have a product that doesn’t remotely resemble WWE.

Their Google search traffic in Japan is barely a blip on the radar compared to New Japan and Stardom. New Japan is the clear cut #1 over there like WWE is here in the US. Stardom is a clear cut #2 like AEW is in the US. WWE is several factors behind Stardom and outpacing NOAH by a hair for third place. In fact, Stardom has a bigger advantage on WWE in Google search traffic in Japan than AEW has on Impact here in the US, and Impact isn’t remotely close to AEW here in the states.

And for the record, despite AEW and Impact’s ties with New Japan, they don’t even rank in the top 6 of Goggle search traffic in Japan.

They really just don’t give a shyt about American style wrestling over there.

Is All Japan dead? Wiki says its open, but I never hear about All Japan. I remember NOAH falling off, but I hear about that more than All Japan.

Well the feeling is mutual, because whenever they try the Japan style over here the crowd is silent:mjlol:. I believe that they were going to expand but that was when the WWE was still family owned, now that Endeavor owns the majority share they may not see it as a need right now or ever.

All Japan is still alive, they just fell off on the wayside like how Dragongate did. At least NOAH is turning itself around.

Perhaps!

Seems awfully coincidental that it’s leaked Kairi is returning after being in Stardom then Asuka goes on Twitter and starts shytting on Stardom again after not saying anything publicly for years.
If they're really owned by a Japanese mafia then why would Kairi put herself and family in danger like that? Kairi probably just let Asuka know how they treated her behind the scenes, and that set Asuka off once again.
