Reports Suggest Kazuchika Okada Is Headed to AEW – Kazuchika Okada’s potential move to All Elite Wrestling has been a hot topic of speculation, and according to reports from Fightful Select, it seems the deal is indeed happening. While nothing is set in stone until the ink dries, sources suggest that Okada is on his way to signing with AEW, with the agreement likely finalized within the past couple of weeks.
This move comes after Okada’s departure from New Japan Pro Wrestling, which he announced around mid-January, fueling rumors of his potential move to another promotion. Despite serious interest from WWE, with ongoing attempts to sign him over the years, it appears that AEW has won the race for Okada’s signature.
Notably, Okada’s friendship with The Young Bucks and his positive experience working with AEW in the past have likely played a significant role in his decision. Additionally, reports suggest that AEW’s treatment of foreign talent, exemplified by the push of Shinsuke Nakamura under Triple H’s leadership in WWE, has contributed to Okada’s favorable view of the company.
While Okada’s official start date with AEW remains unknown, it’s expected that he will fulfill his remaining commitments with NJPW before making the transition. With Okada’s arrival potentially shaking up the landscape of professional wrestling, fans eagerly await his next chapter in AEW.
