As per reports, Tony Khan and AEW are pretty confident about securing Okada. The promotion trusts in its offer, as it made the strongest offer first, quoting it to be a substantial one.

It has also been stated that while Okada is in talks with WWE; the conversations appear less impactful compared to AEW. This suggests that the star might prefer AEW over WWE. However, as stated above, he is weighing both offers carefully before making the next move.

While we now do know about the details of the most talked about topic this week, here’s what we think the NJPW star might do.

Where will Okada end up?

Current updates suggest that Kazhucika Okada has made up his mind to move back to the United States. He has filled the trademark for his ring name “Kazuchika Okada” for branding and promotional purposes. We said, moving back to the States because Okada had been a part of TNA wrestling for a while. And the connections that he made at TNA might be the reason he would choose AEW. If the words are to be trusted, Okada shares a very special bond with the elites of AEW, The Young Bucks. The word around the town is that when Okada was in TNA during 2010 and 2011, the Bucks took him under their wing.

The brothers helped him with many aspects, such as food, traveling, navigating the cities, and accommodation. Due to this, the word is that Okada has been loyal to the brothers since then. Apart from that, Okada’s colleague, Will Ospreay has signed with AEW. Ospreay revealed some reasons why he decided to choose AEW over WWE. Do you think Okada will consult Ospreay or the Young Bucks before making the big decision? Let us know in the comments below.
