Another Notable Name May Be Leaving NJPW

NJPW has lost a few people in recent memory, with Will Ospreay taking off for AEW when his deal ends. Now, it appears that the company may lose someone else.

Sean Sapp noted behind Fightful’s paywall that another Bullet Club member’s contract is running up. It was reported that Gabriel Kidd, Clark Connors, and Alex Coughlin all have contracts expiring very soon, and Drilla Moloney’s name is adding to that list.

In previous days, Fightful has reported that Gabriel Kidd, Clark Connors and Alex Coughlin all had contracts set to expire in January. They aren’t alone, as we’re told that Drilla Moloney, aka Dan Moloney is among those whose contracts  are actually already up. We’ve not heard if he’s been in active negotiations with NJPW.

Drilla Moloney was a tag team champion with Clark Connors, who he held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles with until Wrestle Kingdom. They got to introduce those new title belts, and were very proud of them, but it appears that they may be moving on now.

It was also noted that Drilla Moloney, “formerly competed for the WWE NXT UK brand before heading to NJPW. He’s also done acting roles.” We will have to see what is next for him, but there could be several options open for him in the pro wrestling and entertainment world.
