A top free agent's debut was seemingly teased during the latest edition of WWE Monday Night RAW. Fans have now taken to social media to react to the segment.
Kazuchika Okada, the star in question, saw his contract with NJPW expire on February 1, 2024. Once the news about him being done with NJPW first came to the fore, speculation automatically followed about which promotion he would join. Reports of him having talks with both AEW and WWE have surfaced.
During his time in NJPW, Okada's gimmick was the rainmaker, which means a star who makes a ton of money for a company after joining them.

Gunther thinks Kazuchika Okada would be great competition in WWE
Gunther is the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time. The champion recently mentioned the former NJPW star during an interview.
While speaking to Haus of Wrestling, The Ring General believed that Kazuchika would be a great addition to the Stamford-based promotion. Gunther also revealed that he enjoyed watching Japanese wrestling.
“Okada is fantastic. When I grew up in pro wrestling, understanding everything, I always enjoyed Japanese wrestling the most, more of an All Japan guy than New Japan. He’s one of the best in the world. If he joins WWE, and he’s very welcome to, I think he'd find great competition here," Gunther said.
It will be interesting to see where the former IWGP World Champion will land next.
