An excerpt of the article on WWE.com read:
"Numerous media outlets reported Monday that AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson and Luke "Doc" Gallows - most recently of New Japan Pro Wrestling -- are in negotiations to compete under the WWE banner.
"The office of WWE COO and EVP of Talent Relations, Triple H, declined to comment on the rumors for WWE.com.
"Reports began circulating late Sunday that all four had reportedly given their notices to New Japan management. Fueling the rumors that Styles, Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows were WWE-bound was a series of tweets involving reigning NXT Champion Finn Bálor."
The four are hot property in the wrestling world.
