NXT

WWE
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is contacting talent in Asia regarding another tournament format show. It was noted a few weeks ago that WWE was looking at hosting an Asian and Latin American tournament similar to the UK tournament, and they have been in touch with Asian talents about passport details and other information. The Observer noted WWE might be speeding up the process to get the tournament going in response to the previously announced WhatCulture Pro Wrestling World Cup 2017 tournament.
Additionally, it was said this time talent is being told there will be no outside bookings if signed within the United States, United Kingdom and Japan, to avoid confusion about contract statuses that happened with UK tournament talents.
