Tama Tonga Reportedly Set to Join WWE Following NJPW Departure

A recent report indicates that Tama Tonga, a prominent international star, will join WWE after leaving NJPW. After an illustrious 14-year tenure with NJPW, Tonga bid farewell to the promotion at Saturday’s NJPW New Beginning in Sapporo show.

Tama Tonga has been associated with Japan for over a decade. He boasts quite an impressive career, holding the IWGP Tag Championship seven times and the Never Openweight Championship four times. Moreover, Tonga is a four-time champion as part of the Never Openweight Six-Man Tag Team while working for NJPW.

Reports from Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio suggest that Tonga, who recently departed NJPW, may finally be making his way to WWE. The company reportedly confirmed his imminent arrival, marking a significant transition in his career.

During his NJPW years, Tonga famously aligned with the then quite new Bullet Club, which eventually included current WWE talents AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Luke Galljson, and Karl Anderson. Furthermore, Tonga’s family links to the Anoa’i Family through his father Haku add yet further interest to his potential WWE debut.
