Shane Haste Announces He’s A Free Agent
Shane Haste is no longer under contract.
Taking to social media, Shane Haste revealed that he’s no longer under contract and is a free agent.
I was prolly a little too cryptic with this post but “free agent” sounded too fancy pants for me 🧐
Maybe I should have gone with “funemployed” 😅 https://t.co/3OQQduejDx

Haste had been under contract with New Japan Pro-Wrestling. In the replies to his post, an X user noted that they’ll miss seeing him in NJPW, and he responded that he misses being there too.
Haste last wrestled for the company in January 2025 on the Battle in the Valley Kickoff show. The last time he wrestled in Japan for NJPW was as part of the 2024 World Tag League tournament. He is a former IWGP and NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Champion alongside his partner in T.M.D.K., Mikey Nicholls.
