- We noted the other day that New Japan Pro Wrestling star Prince Devitt said on Twitter that he was coming to WWE to look for new members for his stable and then posted a photoshopped photo of CM Punk with his partners. Word is that Devitt is in serious negotiations with WWE but his tweets were done just to play around with fans. As we have noted, WWE is very interested in signing Devitt.

If WWE could get Devitt I would without a doubt be stoked. That dude is arguably the top heel in New Japan right now and on a real roll. He's gone from just a high flyer to an excellent mat wrestler in just about two years and he's also gotten more comfortable on the mic (but developmental would need to put effort into that with him) since forming the Bullet Club (New Japan's top heel stable).

Small sample featuring his old theme song:

Wonder if WWE would be willing to pay enough to steal on of New Japan's big projects.

Don't watch much NJPW but I love Devitt's stuff, My trainer is trying to book a seminar with him as he has had a few in the last couple of years, Would love to see him in NXT.

Great talent, would love to see him. But find him a manager and spokesperson.

I'd love to see Devitt in the WWE....His skills are brilliant and I agree with him needing to approve with Mic skills.
