There are rumors of New Japan Pro Wrestling star and former ROH Tag Team Champion Rocky Romero also leaving the company. This comes after the rumors of AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson and Shinsuke Nakamura reportedly leaving for WWE.

Bryan Alvarez noted on Wrestling Observer Live today that apparently Romero was being discussed for a trainer role in WWE. No word yet if there’s any truth to the rumors of him leaving NJPW for WWE.

We do know that Romero was in attendance for one of the recent WWE NXT TV tapings from Full Sail University. We’ll keep you updated on his status and the reports of Styles, Gallows, Anderson and Nakamura coming to WWE.

This feels like a weird thing to say, but feels like they've already got a million trainers:
Tensai
Death Rey
Lita
Pearce
Norman Smiley
Robbie Brookside
Regal
Sarita
Kendrick
Terry Taylor
And I'm sure there are a bunch of other older guys there, too.

How many students can they possibly have at once that they need so many trainers? Lance Storm does like 16 kids a session all by himself.

from what I've heard, they have aroud 50 students altogether

and i don't think Kendrick is full time trainer

but I totally agree with what you're saying

Bill DeMott (unless he's gone and I didn't hear of it...)
Booker T & Road Dogg are known to get involved on a regular basis. And I believe Kendrick is usually brought in especially for 1-2-1 intensive teaching (a-la Eva Marie).

So there are a lot of trainers around considering that realistically each trainer could comfortably deal with 8-10 trainees each.

And it's not even like it's a wrestling style thing, because looking at the list of trainers they have, they pretty much have all bases covered on that front.

Appointments for the sake of appointments.
Have A Nice Day!

I'm not sure if you're being facetious or not.

I literally am being serious. I'm going to Google Bill DeMott now because I've missed something.

Oh Shit. Just read up. Oh dear Bill. A highly thought of pro, go to guy and top trainer at the world's biggest wrestling company and you've ruined it by being a douche.
