15 Wrestlers we MIGHT never see in the WWE

#2 Kazuchika Okada

WWE must be wishing for this to become more than a photoshopped image so badly, given Okada’s talents.

Many people consider ‘Rainmaker’ Kazuchika Okada to be the best wrestler alive today. He isn’t even 30 years old, yet he has already taken the entire wrestling world by storm with his radical transformation from a forgettable midcarder to a top babyface, and through his massive and ever-growing collection of outstanding matches.

New Japan Pro Wrestling realizes this, and their decision-makers are determined to ensure Okada never leaves NJPW for any other promotion. But to be honest, they don’t really have to try that hard, because Okada himself stated that he will ‘never’ go to WWE.

Okada has stated several times in the past few years that he has no interest in leaving Japan and wants to do whatever possible to help NJPW grow. It’s likely that these comments stem from his negative experiences while working in TNA.

Okada, you might recall, was shoehorned into a cheesy sidekick gimmick à la Green Hornet, and didn’t get many opportunities to wrestle. NJPW was furious over the whole fiasco and ended their working relationship with TNA, while Okada was determined to never work for any American promotion unless it was through some cross-promotional deal with NJPW.

Since that too isn’t likely to happen, it’s safe to say that we will never see Okada in WWE.
