NJPW Strong Tag Team Champion El Phantasmo’s Contract Status Uncertain
There has been speculation surrounding the contract status of NJPW Strong Tag Team Champion El Phantasmo, according to a report by Fightful Select. The wrestler himself hinted that his deal with the company might be coming to an end on January 31. While this information has not been confirmed by New Japan Pro Wrestling sources, El Phantasmo’s comments suggest that he is entering a contract period.
Interestingly, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has shown interest in El Phantasmo since 2019. However, a deal was not reached between the two parties at that time, and he subsequently signed with NJPW.
El Phantasmo’s potential departure from NJPW could have significant implications for both promotions. AEW has been actively expanding its roster and signing top talents from around the world. El Phantasmo’s high-flying style and charismatic persona would undoubtedly be a valuable addition to their roster.
On the other hand, NJPW would lose one of its tag team champions if El Phantasmo decides to leave. This could lead to a reshuffling of the tag team division and potentially open up opportunities for other wrestlers to rise through the ranks.
