>>14838694>Nobody said "Okada is AEW's next big thing" while he was still working for NJPWAre you sure about that one, big guy? Even putting aside word games and hyperbole ("nobody", who/what qualifies as 'saying', Anonymous vs large YouTube channel/Twitter account, etc), there were plenty of people right here on /pw/ along with Reddit, Instagram, etc, calling the Okada/Ospreay signings shortly after Jay White debuted in 2023. The noise got even louder once it became known their contracts would be up soon.
Okada/Ospreay were both on Forbidden Door 2023 as members of the NJPW roster, and in 2024, they are now on AEW's roster. That's the only major difference between them and Vikingo, who regardless of injury won't/can't be a part of FD due to his AAA affiliation.
