As of right now, Jushin Liger is only working the WWE NXT show. He is staying for Summerslam to watch the show but is not slated to appear on the PPV or Raw. In speaking to a good friend in Japan yesterday, I was told that the word there is that Liger ended up booked because William Regal called and invited him, which is the same story Regal told on Twitter. I was told Liger took the booking because it would give him a chance to debut in WWE and come to the United States for about a week and he loves being here in the States. Liger has the ability to book his own independent dates outside of New Japan, which is how he's able to do the NXT show.
