WWE have seemingly confirmed they are about to sign four New Japan Pro Wrestling stars - AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura plus Bullet Club members Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson - by posting a story about a rumour splashed across the front of their oficial website with the headlines "Nakamura, Bullet Club to WWE?” and “Is a talent invasion on its way to WWE”.

Speculation has been rife since news broke on Monday that the four stars had all given in their notice at NJPW following New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom 10 on Sunday.

An excerpt of the article on WWE.com read:

"Numerous media outlets reported Monday that AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson and Luke "Doc" Gallows - most recently of New Japan Pro Wrestling -- are in negotiations to compete under the WWE banner.

"The office of WWE COO and EVP of Talent Relations, Triple H, declined to comment on the rumors for WWE.com.

"Reports began circulating late Sunday that all four had reportedly given their notices to New Japan management. Fueling the rumors that Styles, Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows were WWE-bound was a series of tweets involving reigning NXT Champion Finn Bálor."

The four are hot property in the wrestling world.

Finn Balor, even posted this picture on his official Instagram account today:

Exciting times await for the WWE, could they even appear at the Royal Rumble at the end of the month?
