Kazuchika Okada is one of the biggest name in pro wrestling outside WWE, and there is a chance that he may take their offer. AEW is still in the running, and Tony Khan might be offering more money, but at this point anything can happen in the pro wrestling world.
Okada Possibly Joining WWE
There was once a time when GUNTHER was seen as one of the top names outside WWE, but he finally gave in and signed with the company. After an ungodly reign as NXT UK Champion, he finally made his way to the United States, where things have really worked out for him.
GUNTHER was recently asked about Okada joining WWE while he was speaking with Haus of Wrestling. The IC Champion would love to see Okada in WWE, and he said that he is a big fan of what The Rainmaker did in NJPW.
“I think Okada is fantastic. I always love Japanese wrestling. When I grew up in professional wrestling, understanding everything, I always enjoyed Japanese wrestling the most. I was more of an All Japan guy than a New Japan guy, to be honest. But yeah, he’s one of the best in the world, and if he joins WWE, he’s very welcome to, and I think he finds great competition here.”
What’s Next For GUNTHER In WWE
GUNTHER is 600 days and counting as Intercontinental Champion, and he teased going for 1,000. It will be interesting to see who steps up to face him, because Okada vs GUNTHER could be an incredible match to see.
Brock Lesnar was supposed to face GUNTHER at WrestleMania, but that booking was famously scrapped. Odds are, the Ring General will have a Mania match, but he may have Jay Uso to deal with at Elimination Chamber first.
