AEW Extends Significant Offer to Kazuchika Okada, Tentative Plans Forming – It seems like the wrestling world is abuzz with anticipation as Kazuchika Okada, one of the premier stars in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, enters free agency, igniting a bidding war between AEW and WWE for his services.
With his NJPW contract expired, Okada is free to explore options across various promotions, and reports suggest that AEW has come out strong with an enticing initial offer. In fact, AEW is currently seen as the frontrunner to secure Okada’s signature, with little to no communication reported between Okada and WWE.
According to sources within New Japan, discussions between Okada and his former promotion have remained amicable. However, Okada has been proactive in reaching out to WWE talent to gauge offers and assess the company’s approach, suggesting a genuine interest in exploring all possibilities.
On the AEW front, confidence is high among officials, who have been actively planning for Okada’s potential arrival for some time now. Reports indicate that AEW has put forth a substantial offer, further fueling speculation of Okada’s imminent debut with the promotion.
Despite the buzz surrounding his future, Okada has yet to finalize any agreements and is currently in talks with Barry Bloom to represent him. As the wrestling world eagerly awaits Okada’s decision, it’s clear that his next move will have significant implications for the industry as a whole.
Earlier today, Okada expressed gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support over the past 17 years.
