In a post on Bushiroad’s official website, Bushiroad President Takaaki Kidani hinted that WWE has reached out to New Japan Pro Wrestling to get the content for the WWE Network.
He wrote: “One proposed idea would be for the WWE to show NJPW footage [on the Network], but this type of proposal just shows that they don’t see us as competition. Play NJPW footage on the Network, see if any of our wrestlers gain popularity, then buy that wrestler out; that’s probably the extent of their thoughts on it. It’s a very obvious strategy.”
NJPW has their own streaming service called New Japan World. They also have a weekly show that airs Fridays on AXS TV, which brings in strong ratings for the network. Kidani said that while it is a long way off, they want to compete with major entertainment groups.
