Bryan Danielson: Of Course I Want Kazuchika Okada In AEW; If He Goes To WWE, He Might Start In NXT
Bryan Danielson wants Kazuchika Okada to come to All Elite Wrestling.
Kazuchika Okada is set to leave New Japan Pro Wrestling in the coming weeks, and as Fightful Select recently reported, he is expected to sign with AEW. Still, some fans are holding out hope that ‘The Rainmaker’ will choose to sign with WWE instead.
Bryan Danielson recently spoke to Tokyo Sports for a new interview, where he commented on Okada’s upcoming free agency.
“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.”
Danielson then went on to say that Okada might get assigned to the NXT brand if he were to sign with WWE.
“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.”
Fightful will update fans when Okada’s next move in the world of wrestling is officially announced.
Okada picked up a win over Hiroshi Tanahashi at NJPW New Beginning on February 11. Fans can learn more here.
