Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling are looking to sign several stars to combined deals for 2017 and beyond.
ROH is facing a potential big roster turnover with several deals set to expire at the end of the year, but they are hopeful that working with NJPW will prevent that.
New Japan is also looking to prevent what happened at the start of 2016 when the company lost Shinsuke Nakamura, A.J. Styles, Karl Anderson, and Doc Gallows to WWE.
NJPW has also expressed interest in running solo shows in the U.S. in 2017, prompting their attempt to sign U.S. stars to mix with the New Japan roster.
Matt Sydal, who is a free agent, has been offered a combined deal from ROH and New Japan.
Contracts for Bobby Fish and Kyle OReilly of the ReDragon tag team are set to expire at the end of the year.
