Last year proved to be major when it came to contract news with many top stars having to re-negotiate their deals across 2024. Now, with a huge match against Kenny Omega coming up in just three days at Wrestle Dynasty, Gabe Kidd may have to sit down with New Japan Pro Wrestling shortly to discuss his future.
Per Fightful Select, it’s believed Gabe Kidd’s NJPW contract is coming up soon.
