The wrestling world has been abuzz with speculation since David Finlay’s contract with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) expired, leaving many to wonder what the future holds for the seasoned wrestler. While Finlay is officially a free agent, insiders close to the situation are hinting that a WWE debut is not quite on the horizon.
A Legacy in the Making

With a storied career spanning multiple promotions, Finlay has earned a reputation as a versatile and hard-hitting competitor. His experience in both the NJPW and WWE systems has made him a valuable asset to any promotion seeking to bolster their roster.
WWE’s Current Landscape
The WWE’s current landscape is a complex and ever-changing entity, with a multitude of factors influencing the direction of the company. The recent introduction of the “WWE Performance Center Alumni” program has created a new pathway for wrestlers to emerge from the shadows and into the main event scene. However, this development has also raised questions about the WWE’s willingness to sign established talent from outside the Performance Center system.

His priority is to ensure that he’s making a move that will benefit his career in the long term.”
Backstage Insight
Sources close to Cody Rhodes, the current WWE Intercontinental Champion, have revealed that Rhodes has been a long-time admirer of Finlay’s work. “Cody has always been a huge fan of David’s, and he’s been pushing for the WWE to sign him for some time,” a source revealed. “However, the decision ultimately lies with the WWE hierarchy, and it’s unclear whether they’re willing to bring him in at this time.”
The Road Ahead
As the waiting game continues, one thing is certain: David Finlay’s future is far from certain. With his contract expired and no immediate signs of a WWE debut on the horizon, fans are left to speculate about what’s next for the veteran wrestler. Will he choose to remain in the WWE system, or will he opt to explore other opportunities? Only time will tell.
Finlay’s Options
Finlay has a range of options available to him, from signing with WWE to joining other promotions such as All Elite Wrestling (AEW) or Impact Wrestling. Each of these options comes with its own set of pros and cons, and it remains to be seen which path Finlay will ultimately choose.
WWE’s Decision
Ultimately, the decision to sign David Finlay lies with the WWE hierarchy. The company has a long history of signing established talent, but this decision is often influenced by a variety of factors, including the wrestler’s marketability, in-ring style, and overall fit with the company’s vision. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the WWE will be keeping a close eye on Finlay’s next move.
