Yeah, and likely more chemistry than Bryan and Styles which has turned out to be not great (tragically so). Would have loved to see him switch his name back to KENTA, go to the main roster, and feud with Bryan or Samoa Joe - and be able to be mid-2000s KENTA, which they just haven't let him do.
Oh well - WWE's loss is someone else's gain. I expect him to consider NOAH, but there is a Shibata-sized hole to be filled on the NJPW roster, and Chris Charlton (rumor guy on Twitter) hinted at him going to NJPW next. Can't see him not returning to Japan, which means I don't AEW is a likely destination for him.
