The wrestling world is buzzing with speculation about David Finlay's future, a 32-year-old wrestler who has captured the attention of both WWE and NJPW. The question on everyone's lips: Where will this talented athlete land next?
David Finlay's contract with NJPW recently expired, leaving him a free agent. Rumors have been swirling about WWE's keen interest in him, with Fightful Select reporting that there has indeed been contact between Finlay and WWE. However, here's where it gets controversial: despite this interest, Finlay is not currently part of WWE's creative plans, according to their sources.
Fightful Select also mentioned that they haven't heard any recent updates on the situation, although there was initial contact between the two parties. Interestingly, NJPW is actively trying to re-sign Finlay, who joined their promotion back in 2015 and has since become a multiple-time champion and a key player in several high-profile feuds. His last match with NJPW was a loss to Callum Newman on February 10th at NJPW New Beginning in Osaka, where he was also given a farewell.
And this is the part most people miss: David Finlay's journey isn't just about the big promotions. He's also made an appearance on AEW Dynamite, facing off against Adam Page. This showcases his versatility and the potential for him to thrive in different wrestling environments.
So, where do you think Finlay's career will take him next? Will he stay with NJPW or make the jump to WWE? Or perhaps he'll surprise us all and explore other avenues in the wrestling world. Let us know your thoughts in the comments! It's time to spark a discussion and predict the future of this talented wrestler.
