10 Independent wrestlers who could be great in WWE

#4 Kazuchika Okada

The Rain Maker is destined for great things

The Rain Maker is one of the biggest stars in Japanese wrestling today. At only 27, he’s already been a mainstay on the wrestling scene for 8 years. In 2015, he became a 3-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion and headlined Wrestle Kingdom 10 last year with Hiroshi Tanahashi. Okada’s one of those wrestlers who is seamless in the ring and makes everything look easy. Many legends including Jim Ross have said that Okada has the best dropkick in wrestling today.

Although he’s repeatedly said that he has no interest in leaving Japan for the WWE, rumours of WWE’s interest in him persist. If Okada does indeed decide to make the jump someday like his compatriots Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka, Vince McMahon and the WWE machine could make Okada an even bigger star than he is now.
