Bryan Danielson Wants Kazuchika Okada To Come To AEW

Count Bryan Danielson among those who want to see Kazuchika Okada come to AEW.

Seven-time world champion Kazuchika Okada is leaving NJPW once he finishes his commitments. Nothing has officially been announced, but Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has reported that Okada is AEW-bound.

Speaking with Tokyo Sports, AEW Bryan Danielson shared his thoughts on Kazuchika Okada’s future. (Translation via DeepL)

“Of course I want him to come to AEW,” Bryan Danielson said. “Fans all over the world know how great Okada is, and although WWE and AEW are both major [companies], I hope he comes to AEW,” he said with a twinkle in his eye.

“If he goes to WWE, they might make him start with NXT (the third brand) like Shinsuke (Nakamura) to adapt to the American style, but that is not necessary for Okada, who is already complete. He is one of the best wrestlers in the world at this point, so he can come to the U.S. without changing anything.”

Bryan Danielson faced Kazuchika Okada at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2023. They clashed again at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18.

Okada’s final NJPW match is set for NJPW New Beginning in Sapporo on February 24.

WrestleZone will provide more information about Okada’s future as it becomes available.
