As the [=nWo's=] influence would spread to NJPW, [=nWo=] Japan was formed in December 1996 with Norton and Bagwell joining them a month later. As time went on however, Norton's experiences in WCW and NJPW would shift further apart from each other. In WCW, the [=nWo=] would first split off and then reform with more members than before. Nortan would become a member of the [=nWo=] B-Team. In NJPW, he was a dominant force for [=nWo=] Japan, winning the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/japan/newjapan/iwgp-h.html IWGP Heavyweight Title]].

In 1999, Norton leaves WCW for good, working exclusively with New Japan. He becomes a member of Masahiro Chono's Team 2000 stable once again becoming the IWGP Heavyweight champion. In 2006, Norton would leave NJPW, he now is semi-retired and only wrestles occasionally.
