Kazuchika Okada’s contract with NJPW is set to expire this month, and there is a lot of interest in him from AEW and WWE.
WWE believes that there is a real possibility of Okada joining them, especially considering his age and his close relationship with Shinsuke Nakamura, who made the switch from NJPW to WWE in the past. Despite his accomplishments in NJPW, Okada has never worked for WWE.
People in WWE believe that they have a better chance of signing him now compared to before. AEW is believed to have made a strong initial offer to Okada.
During today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer mentioned that both promotions involved still hold onto the belief that they can secure Okada. As we previously reported here on eWn, Okada has not made a decision yet.
The AEW camp is convinced that he will join them, whereas WWE believes they have a strong chance of acquiring him due to the potential legacy he could establish with them.
