More onn Kazuchika Okada’s NJPW Departure and Future – As previously noted, Kazuchika Okada is set to depart from NJPW. In an official announcement, NJPW confirmed that the seven-time IWGP World Champion would conclude his tenure with the promotion once his contract expires on January 31st.
According to information from Fightful Select, Okada recently had a meeting with NJPW officials to discuss their future collaboration, and it became evident during the conversation that Okada was ready to conclude his time with the company. Despite the surprise of the announcement, the departure is described as amicable, leaving the door open for Okada’s potential return in the future.
The report also mentions that AEW had optimistic expectations about acquiring Okada earlier in the month, with some discussions already taking place. However, it’s too early to determine his next destination. WWE sources have not been informed of any talks between Okada and WWE, but there is an expectation that the possibility may be explored. As of the latest update, WWE is uncertain about Okada’s inclination towards making the move.
In an interesting development, Okada has recently mended ties with TNA, and reports suggest a positive experience for many within the company. While AEW has expressed definite interest, the situation is still in its early stages. If Okada considers participating in the Royal Rumble, he would need permission from NJPW.
