After having discussions with WWE, Bad Luck Fale has decided to re-up with New Japan. Pro Wrestling Sheets reports that Fale has signed a new two-year contract with NJPW after deciding that he wanted to make it to the company’s main event scene.
As has been reported, New Japan’s contracts are traditionally for one year each but the company has signed both Fale and Rocky Romero to two year deals after AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows gave their notices after the Tokyo Dome show. Fale did have talks with WWE about leaving, but confirmed his intention to stay on Facebook where he posted, “I will stay with NJPW because they believed in me when I was nobody. That means more than anything materialistic.”
