In an interview with Tokyo Sports, KENTA issued his first public comments about signing with WWE. However, he didn't say much at all:

"Right now, There is nothing that I can say at this time. I will announce my plans when the time is right for me to announce them."

Puroresu Spirit reports that KENTA is waiting on his work visa to clear before he makes any type of official announcement. It's expected that a press conference will be held in Japan sometime in the next few days for Kenta to talk more openly about WWE, plus address the media.
