Former New Japan Pro Wrestling talent Karl Fredericks was spotted at the WWE Performance Center earlier this week, prior to the facility closing due to safety concerns as a result of Hurricane Ian, according to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com.

Fredericks noted back on August 1st that his contract with the promotion had expired, and that he had made the decision not to re-sign stating, “As of today August 1st, I am no longer under contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling and I will not be re-signing with the company at this time. Though there is disappointment in the ending of this chapter, I am grateful for the last four years traveling the world and growing with my best friends. I want to say thank you to the company for the opportunities, and especially thank you to Shibata-san for believing in me and bringing me along his journey with the LA Dojo. Last, but not least, thank you to my fans and thank you to the NJPW fans for your support over these years. I hope you will continue to support me along my path, wherever that may lead.”
