The world of professional wrestling has just gotten a lot more interesting with the expiration of David Finlay’s New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) contract. The talented Scot, known for his exceptional in-ring skills and charismatic persona, is now officially a free agent, and WWE and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) are likely to be on high alert as they eye the 35-year-old wrestler.
A Career on the Rise
David Finlay, better known to fans as “The Rebel,” has been making waves in the world of professional wrestling since his debut in 2010. After starting his career in the UK, Finlay made the move to New Japan Pro-Wrestling in 2015, where he quickly established himself as one of the promotion’s top up-and-coming stars. His impressive in-ring style and natural charisma have earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting young talents in the industry.
WWE and AEW Circle Their Wagons
With Finlay now a free agent, both WWE and AEW are likely to be competing for his services. WWE, in particular, is known for its ability to absorb top talent from around the world, and Finlay’s skills and experience make him an attractive addition to the company’s roster. Sources close to WWE’s talent relations department have indicated that the company is already scouting Finlay and is eager to bring him on board.
“We’ve been keeping a close eye on David Finlay for some time now,” revealed a WWE insider. “He’s got the kind of talent and charisma that we’re always looking for, and we’re excited about the possibility of adding him to our roster. We’ll be in touch with him soon to discuss potential opportunities.”
AEW’s Interest May be More Than Just a Formality
While WWE is likely to be the front-runner for Finlay’s services, AEW’s interest in the Scot cannot be ruled out. Cody Rhodes, AEW’s Chief Brand Officer, is known for his passion for building a diverse and talented roster, and Finlay’s skills and experience would make him a valuable addition to the company.
“Cody is a huge fan of David Finlay’s work, and we’ve been talking about bringing him on board for some time now,” revealed a source close to Rhodes. “We think he’d be a great fit for our roster, and we’re excited about the possibility of having him join us.”
Finlay’s Future Remains Uncertain
While the interest from WWE and AEW is likely to be a major factor in Finlay’s decision-making process, the Scot’s own preferences and goals will ultimately play a significant role in determining his future. Finlay has spoken publicly about his desire to work with the best talent in the industry and to push himself to new heights as a performer.
“I’m excited to explore my options and to see where my career takes me,” Finlay revealed in a statement. “I’ve always been driven by a desire to be the best, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds.”
What’s Next for David Finlay?
As the dust settles on Finlay’s NJPW contract, the wrestling world is eagerly waiting to see where the talented Scot will end up next. With WWE and AEW on high alert and Finlay’s own preferences and goals hanging in the balance, the possibilities are endless. One thing is certain, however: “The Rebel” is about to take his career to new heights, and fans around the world will be watching with bated breath.
In the coming weeks and months, we can expect to see Finlay’s name mentioned in connection with both WWE and AEW.
