David Finlay comments on potentially moving to WWE one day.
In October, Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net reported that Brogan Finlay was offered a developmental deal with WWE, and he was expected to report to the WWE Performance Center in January. Fightful Select then confirmed that he had been signed.
Speaking on Cultaholic Wrestling's Desert Island Graps, David Finlay was asked to name which member of his family would be a good addition to Bullet Club. In his response, he confirmed that his brother Brogan has signed with WWE.
“I guess we got my dad [Dave Finlay] as an option, the old wise man in this day and age. I wouldn’t want to be on his bad side, still. We got my little brother [Brogan], who actually just signed to NXT. I’d probably go with my dad. I’ll take experience over youth. I would go with the old man," Finlay said.
After making it clear that he was proud of his brother, David, who has been with NJPW since 2015, was asked whether he has had conversations with WWE.
"My only contact is my dad, my only contact needs to be my dad. On one hand, it’s never been talked about officially, but on the other hand, about every other time I go over for dinner, it gets talked about. He’s like, ‘You could come work with me.’ When I’ve accomplished all I need to accomplish in Japan, maybe I’ll entertain the option. But for right now, I got an IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship to win and make world-famous," Finlay said.
At NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18, David Finlay will face Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay for the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship. Fightful will have live coverage of the show as it airs.
