Talking to Sports Illustrated while promoting Wrestle Kingdom 16, Kazuchika Okada expressed his desire to compete in two dream matches.
The opponents in question are Bryan Danielson and CM Punk: “Danielson and Punk would make for some incredible matches. A lot of those dream match scenarios are about getting excited for the possibilities, and once the match is done, it’s done. So it is important to keep that excitement and anticipation, I think. Still, if we wait too long, they’ll both retire eventually, so I want to face them both while they’re still active.”
The Rainmaker also commented on the Best Friends being added to CHAOS, reminding people that Trent and Chuck Taylor were part of the group during their NJPW tenure before signing with AEW: “The Best Friends were part of CHAOS when they were in New Japan, and with the door to AEW being opened a bit, it added more possibilities,” Okada said. “[Tomohiro] Ishii was able to come into AEW from CHAOS, and if Orange Cassidy and the Best Friends were able to show up in New Japan, there is no doubt that would be a lot of fun. The sooner the whole pandemic settles down, the better as far as that’s concerned.”
