>As of this moment, AEW is the favorite to land Okada. He has a pre-existing relationship with AEW owner Tony Khan, and his visit to Dynamite this past October 25 was, for all intents and purposes, an opportunity to see how the company operated at a live television taping. Okada has struck up a friendship with on-screen rival Bryan Danielson, who has gained his trust, and he remains close with AEW EVPs Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks’ Matt and Nick Jackson.
>There is also significant interest from WWE, specifically from Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Shawn Michaels, Sports Illustrated has confirmed. While it is difficult to procure information from Okada’s camp, multiple sources close to NJPW revealed that he has always wanted to perform at a WrestleMania. Levesque is aware of this and has the right opponents–specifically AJ Styles and Finn Balor–who have pre-existing relationships with Okada, and would both be perfect for Okada’s debut if he were to wrestle at WrestleMania 40.
