It was reported over the last week that several New Japan Pro Wrestling stars were looking at their options ahead of expiring deals. These included Bullet Club War Dogs members Clark Connors and David Finlay, who are each weighing up whether or not they wish to remain in NJPW going forwards. There has been an update on their potential futures in the professional wrestling world. 

It is noted by Fightful Select that NJPW is hopeful that they can retain the likes of David Finlay, Clark Connors, and Drilla Maloney following the expiration of their deals, even after it emerged that they were all potentially looking at options in the States. For David Finlay specifically, it was learned that he is interested in spending more time in the US in the future. When it comes to retaining these wrestlers, it was reported that NJPW is open to completing dual deals with all of these names. 

Another name discussed by Fightful Select as someone looking at opinions elsewhere is EVIL, though AEW will not be a destination due to Tony Khan not being a fan of his.
