Report: War Machine Finishing Up With New Japan, Possibly Headed To WWE
War Machine seems WWE bound based on a new report.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that War Machine (Raymond Rowe and Hanson) will be finishing up with New Japan following the Wrestle Kingdom 12 show at the Toyko Dome. From there, it is expected that once they clear medicals from WWE, they will be offered a contract.
They finished up with Ring of Honor this past weekend at their television tapings.
Hanson and Rowe started teaming in 2014 when they were both part of the Top Prospect tournament, with Hanson defeating Rowe in the finals to win the tournament. The following year, they signed with Ring of Honor and quickly became a big part of the promotion. They debuted the following year for New Japan Pro Wrestling at their annual World Tag Leauge tournament where they quickly gained momentum as a hot up and coming team.
The duo have won the Ring of Honor tag team championships once and the IWGP Heavyweight tag team championship on two occasions.
