Backstage Response to Kazuchika Okada’s Full-Time AEW Debut – Kazuchika Okada’s arrival in All Elite Wrestling sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, with his official signing announced last week on Dynamite. Despite interest from WWE, Okada chose to align himself with AEW, marking his full-time debut in memorable fashion by turning heel and joining forces with The Young Bucks to ambush Eddie Kingston.
As Okada joined The Elite in solidarity, he tantalizingly gestured towards championship gold around his waist, hinting at future showdowns to come. The collaboration between Okada and The Young Bucks continued at the Collision TV tapings, further solidifying their alliance.
According to Fightful Select, AEW is buzzing with excitement over Okada’s addition to the roster, with the decision to turn him heel having been in the works long before his signing. AEW President Tony Khan, known for his forward-thinking approach, conceptualized the idea as early as the holidays, foreseeing Okada’s potential as a major heel star on American wrestling television.
Okada’s captivating facial expressions have garnered praise within the company, with hopes that his tenure in AEW will allow him to explore new dimensions in his wrestling career. AEW officials are particularly optimistic about the chemistry between Okada and The Young Bucks, anticipating dynamic performances based on their past collaborations.
The response to Okada’s segments at the Collision tapings has further fueled AEW’s confidence in his potential, strategically timed to coincide with Sting’s retirement to capitalize on the momentum. With Okada now positioned as another marquee star in AEW’s constellation, anticipation mounts for the fresh rivalries and electrifying encounters that lie ahead.
