According to sources, part of
the reason (though certainly not the only reason) that WWE signed KENTA is that
they plan to expand the WWE Network into Japan next year and wanted a big
Japanese star. KENTA will fit that bill not only for the network but for NXT,
where he will report to initially. WWE just signed a deal with J-Sports to air
NXT in Japan.
KENTA is scheduled to arrive
in Orlando, Florida this week, with another press conference scheduled
then.
