Fightful: Update on WWE possibly working with AJPW/NJPW/STARDOM

\- Regarding AJPW, one source reportedly suggested that the WWE-AJPW deal is adopting a cautious “wait and see” strategy. So, there is optimism and highlighting WWE’s more open stance under Nick Khan’s leadership.

\- AJPW sources were said to be happy with Dempsey’s performances for the company, with them feeling he was a great WWE representative to be sent over. NXT sources that spoke with Dempsey insist he was treated well during his time working with AJPW.

\- Concerning the WWE-Stardom rumors, it was reported that WWE sources were initially in the dark, but anything is possible now. *“Numerous WWE sources noted that the company was in a new era and things could be done a lot differently.*“

\- Regarding rumors of WWE interest with NJPW, Fightful is reporting that WWE has long maintained interest in at least some connection with NJPW. Those we spoke to in both companies don’t think it’s particularly likely considering the strong partnership between AEW and NJPW, but said that with new faces at the helm of both WWE and NJPW, it’s at least more likely than it has been in a long time. Sources within WWE that Fightful spoke to said that Vince McMahon usually quickly nixed any discussion of working with NJPW in the past. Rocky Romero had spoken with Nick Khan at one point years ago, but the conversation never went anywhere.

\- Several WWE sources also reportedly emphasized the company’s entrance into a new era, hinting at potential changes in their approach.
