Legendary New Japan Pro Wrestling star Kazuchika Okada is reportedly making his way to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), according to information from Fightful. While the deal has been effectively agreed upon in recent weeks, the official signing is still in the finalization stage.

AEW has been expressing confidence in securing Okada for several weeks, even dating back to mid-January. Although there is no firm date for Okada’s AEW debut, sources suggest it is expected to happen after he fulfills his commitments with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Creative ideas for Okada have been discussed since January, and discussions in Las Vegas over the weekend hinted at significant developments for AEW in the first half of March.

Ultimately, AEW’s confident offer to Okada reportedly sealed the deal, with no real discussions of Okada going to NXT as previously rumored.
