NJPW Star Kota Ibushi Claims He Has Not Signed With WWE

“Japanese Golden star” Kota Ibushi has reportedly been offered numerous WWE contracts which he has refused to sign, according to Japanese wrestling news website enuhito.com.

Ibushi who was personally invited to take part in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic, was asked by Japanese media "is it true that you has signed the contract with WWE?" to which he responded "No. I just know the news. I have not signed any. But every time I go to WWE, they said “when do you decide it?” to me. They offer me, but I refuse to sign it so far."

Prompted to clarify further he was asked: "is the rumor is not true?"

He simply said "No. But they asked me to sign it."

Ibushi reportedly still has a goal of winning the IWGP Heavyweight Championship before he even considers any U.S. based promtoion.
