Apparently Finn Balor is the reason why Ibushi agreed to wrestle in the WWE's upcoming cruiserweight tournament. Also had his own Vince story that occurred to him while at the NXT Takeover Dallas show.

So when he was backstage, he did a high five to Vince McMahon, but noted that he had never seen Vince McMahon and didn’t know who he was. Anyway, somehow someone must have asked him about meeting Vince and he, not knowing, said he didn’t know who he was, and said people backstage were very upset at him. He said they made him an offer to come full-time and he turned it down. He said they continued to make him offers and he accepted coming for the tournament but he’s only agreed to the tournament and said he still has things he wants to do in Japan. He would be the biggest star but I can’t imagine WWE putting over to the final two someone unless they were under contract
