Let me assure you Jericho isn't under contract and WWE isn't getting anything in return.

I assume Chris has Vince's blessing.

This story is true from everything I know:

Omega/Ibushi once planned for the Dome is the working idea for Long Beach.

If Meltzer pretends Omega is leaving New Japan again this year don't believe him is my advice.

I heard Sami Callihan has serious heat touring with New Japan.

They told him to stop kissing opponents. But he has refused to.

They want him to be serious, evil and aggressive but he’s being a goofball.

In Japan the unforgivable sin is disobedience. Same when it comes down to the New Japan office.

I've no idea what is thought of his spitting.

Yeah I'm really sure someone is looking to leave New Japan to go elsewhere when New Japan is super hot and will only get bigger in 2018.

It says act, not wrestler so likely to be more than just someone.

It is most likely AXS is airing it on the 5th or something.

How influential is George Carroll Jr. as head of American expansion? I just noticed he's been liking tweets about Elgin getting pulled from indie shows and wonder how that bodes for Elgin's future in NJPW.

He's the #1 guy. He's one of the bigger mover and shakers in Wrestling that no know really knows of/talks about.

Edit: I asked around. The New Japan company line is that "Elgin is booked until the Dome". Read into that what you will.

Havok's social media situation being unearthed during her NXT tryout was poor timing obviously. But Elgin acutely hosed himself over.

For the sake of making a point, New Japan likely wouldn't have cared about the initial rape allegation cover up situation. But they would care about bad mouthing his tag partner Cobb.

While WWE obviously wouldn't really care about bad mouthing Cobb. But they most certainly would have cared about the initial rape allegation cover up situation and beyond.

No idea what ROH would think of either situation however it is well documented Delirious and Elgin really don't get along or get along for long.

Elgin kept digging and digging and digging a bigger hole for himself this week. The week of the #MeToo Movement made Time magazine's 'Person Of The Year.' And when his NJPW contract is up in the air anyway.

If you consider there might be something to this theory then yeah.

Also with New Japan expanding to the US next year, they can't operate in ignorance of US social standards anymore. This all came out at the absolute worst possible time.

Yeah, my long post seems to be on the money. WWE/Regal was recently in contact with him before all this per Elgin. Also, the New Japan locker room is treating him like a pariah over the public burial of Cobb.

However, if his New Japan contract doesn't get renewed it wasn't primarily due to the events of this week. He was on the outs anyway and it is why Cobb was contacted by New Japan in the first place.

If you think Jericho is just going do to a standard WWE match you're out of your mind.

Kenny dives outside after 3 minutes and then they go to commercial break. With Ibushi on commentary.
