Vince raiding New Japan. Albert, who's running the training for WWE, was Karl Anderson's partner in Japan. So, there's a previous relationship. Can't blame the others for making the move. They live in the states and have families. Continually making the trip to Japan has to be hard. Nakamura relies on Western influences, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson, for his character. So, it's not surprising that he wants to perform on the biggest American stage.
I'd like to see them do well, but WWE hasn't inspired much confidence, these days.

"According to MLW Radio, several big New Japan Pro Wrestling talents have given their notices to the company. Among those rumored to be leaving New Japan are AJ Styles, Shisuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows.
Wrestling Observer Radio says that WWE has targeted all of these talents, and they'll be leaving the company shortly. We first reported in early December that WWE was interested in signing Nakamura. Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that he may be leaving later than the others, as he's the current IWGP Intercontinental Champion."
