There are rumors circulating about a potential new deal involving WWE, with current WWE wrestlers hinting at the inclusion of former New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) talent in a fresh faction. This group, known as “Birthright,” has been formed in NXT by several multi-generational stars, including Lexis King, Ariana Grace, Channing Stacks Lorenzo, Charlie Dempsey, and Uriah Connors, as indicated by recent trademark filings.
Lexis King, whose father is Brian Pillman, responded to speculation about David Finlay potentially joining the faction after Finlay—son of wrestling legend Fit Finlay and brother to Uriah Connors—seemed to be parting ways with NJPW. When asked on Twitter if David Finlay would be welcomed in the group, King confirmed, “Yes. As long as he likes fighting!”
Reports suggest that David Finlay’s contract with NJPW is nearing its end, and he is exploring opportunities in the United States. Finlay recently made a farewell gesture to fans following a loss to Callum Newman at the New Beginning event in Osaka. Updates on Finlay’s career developments will be shared as more information becomes available.
Fan Take: This potential signing could be a game-changer for WWE as it introduces high-caliber international talent into the mix, enriching storylines and elevating in-ring competition. For fans, seeing wrestlers like David Finlay join WWE’s expanding factions adds fresh excitement and unpredictability to the sport’s future.
