What’s next for Kazuchika Okada? Updates on WWE, AEW, and TNA interest!

Kazuchika Okada is making headlines as he prepares to leave NJPW. The former seven-time IWGP World Champion will be ending his time with the promotion when his contract expires on January 31st. This news was officially announced by NJPW today, following a meeting between Okada and New Japan officials where they discussed their future collaboration. Ultimately, it was decided that Okada would be moving on from the company, but with a possibility of returning in the future.

There has been buzz about AEW being interested in signing Okada, with talks reportedly already taking place. However, it’s still too early to confirm his next destination. On the other hand, WWE sources have not been made aware of any discussions between Okada and WWE, but they are open to exploring the possibility. At this moment, WWE is unsure if Okada is interested in joining their roster.

Interestingly, Okada recently made amends with TNA over the weekend, and it seems to have been a positive experience for many involved. While AEW has shown keen interest in Okada, it’s all still in the initial stages. It’s important to note that Okada would need NJPW’s approval if he were to consider participating in the Royal Rumble.
