Fans from WWE and AEW have been hoping to see him appear on their favorite wrestling promotion. However, there’s no confirmation of where Kazuchika Okada may be heading next.
Seven time WWE champion Nakamura recently spoke about Kazuchika Okada’s departure from NJPW. In an interview with Tokyo Sports, he wished the star well (translated comments below).
Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.
"How do you view your life, who you are, what you want to become? Only you can make that decision, so the courage to take the step that Okada took... I feel like (Antonio) Inoki when I say it, but once you've taken the step, you have no choice but to go on. Of course, I will support him, and if there is anything I can do, I will do it," Nakamura said.
The Artist added that he didn’t want Kazuchika Okada to have the same experience he did when he made a similar move years ago.
"That's part of it, and also the invisible procedures. There were a lot of hardships I had to go through that I should not have had to go through. I don't want them to have to go through that, and I hope they will be spoiled," Nakamura added. [H/T - Fightful]
It’ll be interesting to see where The Rainmaker ends up. With his talent and skills, he will surely be a great asset to any wrestling promotion in the world.
A former WWE Champion wants Kazuchika Okada to sign with AEW
The Rainmaker has been making waves ever since the big news regarding his departure from NJPW broke. Former WWE Champion Bryan Danielson is one of the many big names who want to see him in AEW.
In an interview with Tokyo Sports, Danielson discussed which promotion Kazuchika Okada should sign with. He noted that AEW would be the best option for him.
"Of course I want him to come to AEW. Fans all over the world know how great Okada is. Both WWE and AEW are major players, but I hope he comes to AEW. If he went to WWE, they might have him start with (third brand) NXT like Shinsuke (Nakamura), to adapt to the American style, but it's already completed. Okada doesn't need that. He's one of the best wrestlers in the world right now, so he should just come to the United States without changing anything," said Bryan Danielson. [H/T - Fightful]
The Stamford-based wrestling promotion and AEW will have their eyes firmly set on Okada’s next move. Fans are anxiously waiting for him to arrive to their favorite promotion.
