UPDATE x 2: WWE may have spoiled the planned signing of Japanese Superstar KENTA for fans who have any real computer or internet skills.
As noted, WWE has confirmed that a “top Japanese Superstar” will be signing his new WWE contract in the ring at the upcoming WWE live event on July 12th in Osaka, Japan.
The official WWE Japan website has somewhat spoiled the signing, as the file name of their announcement graphic reads “kenta-teaser-image.jpg.”
UPDATE: As noted earlier, WWE is promoting a live contract signing for a “top Japanese wrestler” during their July 12 live event in Osaka, Japan. That top name is expected to be KENTA. WWE is now advertising that Hulk Hogan and other WWE officials will take part in the contract signing:
