>Per sources, there was no hesitancy about debuting Okada as a heel. His original big run in Japan came off of being a great playboy heel. People will likely still cheer him because he’s so likable and possesses movie-star looks, but all parties–Khan, the EVPs in Omega and the Bucks, and Okada–agreed that his run in AEW should start as a villain, which was an idea that came directly from Khan.
>A key for Okada in AEW will be mastering wrestling on television, which operates much differently in America than it does in Japan. That is another reason why partnering with the Bucks is so significant.
