According to NJPW's owner, current plans are to grow interest and revenues within the next couple of years so they can open more of the Tokyo Dome for ticket sales and sign more international stars who worked in the WWE. Also currently targeting signing more domestic younger stars to help with the growth needed.
In regards to international signings, they want to get a working relation with the WWE established as their main goal.

Between a rising fan base and sales in 2018, Kidani continued that NJPW will have more money to pay wrestlers and are looking to continue to bring in wrestlers who had a relationship with WWE until "the other side" says "let's get along." Clearly, bringing in Chris Jericho had a positive impact on the company's bottom line and overseas exposure as NJPW has already lined him up to face Tetsuya Naito.
