Independent wrestler Hideki Suzuki has left Japan on a one-way journey, with speculation suggesting he could be on his way to WWE.
This stems from a Tokyo Sports article published on Monday. It states that Suzuki arrived at Tokyo s Haneda Airport yesterday afternoon, giving vague answers to questions about where he was heading before boarding a plane with a one-way ticket.
Suzuki s exact destination hasn t been revealed, though the article states that WWE is his likeliest destination, as he did some guest coaching for the promotion two years ago and was highly evaluated doing his time there. The 40-year-old could conceivably slot in as a player-coach or a more specialised role, given his experience.
Big Japan Pro Wrestling has announced that El Lindaman has tested positive for COVID-19, and as a result his Strong Hearts tag partner T-Hawk was removed from their January 19 show. Lindaman, who made appearances for AEW during the early days of the company, had been wrestling for ZERO1, Big Japan Wrestling, DDT and other Japanese promotions during the pandemic.
The post reads: “
We’ll be back in Shinkiba on January 19th! T-hawk was scheduled to wrestle Aoki but because he was a close contact to El lindaman who tested positive for COVID-19 has to sit out. Kuma Arashi will take his place. Aoki who has been defeated once looks for revenge!”
