New Japan & ROH working together to prevent 2017 talent exit -

Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling are looking to sign several stars to combined deals for 2017 and beyond. ROH is facing a potential big roster turnover with several deals set to expire at the end of the year, but they are hopeful that working with NJPW will prevent that. New Japan is also looking to prevent what happened at the start of 2016 when the company lost Shinsuke Nakamura, A.J. Styles, Karl Anderson, and Doc Gallows to WWE.

NJPW has also expressed interest in running solo shows in the U.S. in 2017, prompting their attempt to sign U.S. stars to mix with the New Japan roster.

Matt Sydal, who is a free agent, has been offered a combined deal from ROH and New Japan.

Contracts for Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly of the ReDragon tag team are set to expire at the end of the year. Fish has risen to ROH TV champion and O’Reilly continues to be a significant part of the ROH talent roster in New Japan. Plus, ROH has big plans for O’Reilly at the end of the year. Therefore, NJPW is working with ROH to negotiate a new deal with reDRagon to keep them involved in both promotions next year and beyond.

:jbhmm: Solo shows...

Thats the only part ROH needs to be wary of cause if those are successful they will eventually cut them out completely.

ROH should be wary in general. It's very, very clear the only reason NJ has paired up with them is because of their TV coverage, specifically so they could grow their audience in the US to the point where they can run solo shows anyway. That's been the goal since day one of this partnership. Which makes it even funnier how hard ROH bends over backwards to put NJPW guys over constantly.

I don't think roh has to worry about being cut out. They share enough guys. And some are under contract to both at the same time. And new Japan needs as much content as they can for new Japan world
