New Japan loves sending its talent to get some international exposure to season them a bit. Once Itami is main roster, having some young star head down to NXT before heading back to New Japan would be a pretty big deal for New Japan, and creates a further buzz around the NXT product. The WWE getting the Bullet Club for just a very short stint, without jeopardizing their entire New Japan careers (say there's interest in doing an AJ Styles match), also becomes a better arrangement for all with some sort of talent exchange program in place. And NXT guys could use another place to work in order to get them experience in front of different crowds and working different styles.
