I can't say i was waiting for him to join NJPW, but i did see him doing at least NOAH more than AJPW. All Japan probably saw the most growth last year and it seems they may continue this year

this is the card for Bodon's debut show

AJPW Dream Power Series 2018
March 25th, 2018

Saitama Super Arena, Community Arena (~6,000 capacity)

Atsushi Maruyama, Yutaka Yoshie, Naoshi Sano, Keiichi Sato, & Carbell Ito vs. Masakodo, Ishikiri, Revlon, Takashi Daimonji, & FG Mask (All LANDS END)

Masanobu Fuchi, Yohei Nakajima, & TAJIRI vs. Osamu Nishimura, Ultimo Dragon, & Kotaro Suzuki

Koji Iwamoto vs. Josh Bodom

Champion Carnival Hype Match: KAI & Naoya Nomura vs. Yoshitatsu & Yuji Hino

All-Asia Tag-Team Titles: Jun Akiyama & Yuji Nagata (c) vs. Takao Omori & Manabu Nakanishi

Special Six-Man Tag-Team: Evolution (Suwama, Hikaru Sato, & Yusuke Okada) vs. Hagura IGF International (Kazuyuki Fujita, NOSAWA Rongai, & Kendo Kashin)

AJPW World Tag-Team Championship: The Big Guns (Zeus & The Bodyguard) (c) vs. Ryouji Sai & Dylan James

NOAH would probably be a better place for him in terms of match-ups, but I think his style fits All Japan a bit better.
