Kazuchika Okada is one of the hottest free agents in pro wrestling. With his contract about to expire, speculation is that he will join AEW. While this is great news for Okada fans, who can see him wrestle the likes of Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, and many more. However, it seems that WWE superstars have snubbed Okada when talking about the best wrestler in pro wrestling. They didn’t pick one of their own; they went with a former AEW star and Champion.

WWE Legends, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, pick Kenny Omega over Kazuchika Okada

While in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Kazuchika Okada made a massive name for himself. While his start was rough, he is currently one of their top stars. He had won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship twice. His second reign was the longest in history, with 720 days. He was also the IWGP Heavyweight Champion five times.

During his time there, he shared the ring with another known NJPW star who also worked in AEW, Kenny Omega. Omega, just like Okada, is currently the hottest star in pro wrestling. But did you know that many WWE stars and legends consider Omega one of the best pro wrestlers in the world today?

Meltzer said, “I thought there were arguments for Okada in particular, and they disagreed.” He ended by claiming that the three stars felt that Omega was the best of the current era of pro wrestlers.
