Major NJPW Star Backstage At Summerlam

This weekend was a huge one for professional wrestling and MMA, and there were no shortage of stars and celebrities running around at the events.

One of those stars was IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada, who was backstage at WWE Summerslam Sunday night in Brooklyn, New York. Okada was in attendance to visit Shinsuke Nakmaura, who won the NXT Championship Saturday.

Okada competed for Ring of Honor Friday night in Las Vegas, defeating Dalton Castle at Death Before Dishonor. 

Okada noted earlier in the year that he’s not considered going to WWE, even though many people have advised him to do so. He told Rolling Stone that no contract offer had been made.

“The Rainmaker” had a brief run in TNA Wrestling from 2010-2011 before returning to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
