Not a fit imo. I know it’s unpoular opinion, but I just can’t see him appearing on RAW in a non-smark city and fitting into WWE’s style I’m inclined to agree. I’d love it personally, & for the most part I think aew has squandered in the way they present him, but I don’t see him leaving Japan for WWE/America.

Unless Okada's wife was willing to uproot her life and very successful VO career then this just aint happening.

I can't see Okada ever going to the US full time, but if Shinsuke can adapt to the WWE, so could he.

This would make a pile of very interesting matches in WWE!

If MelTz says it, it's got to be true.

No chance in hell and no way Tony Kahn would let it happen as he is way to good to be mishandled in wwe.

If MelTz says it, it's got to be true. I mean I fully believe there are folks in WWE telling him this, probably the same folks reaching out to SRS/Mike Johnson/others about their interest in Ospreay, Giulia, etc. It doesn't mean it has any shot of happening per se. But it's a nice addition to the newsletter.

I had to chuckle when I saw this. I don't see Okada even seriously considering it.

Okada next in the Seth Rollins Blown Out Back Brigade I doubt that WWE would make Okada look as big of a bitch as Shinsuke has in the WWE.

The guy can do any style to fit whoever he's facing and get the best possible match out of them. It's why he is so great as a champion, as he can still get a great match out of anybody, from Tanahashi to Bad Luck Fale. As long as he doesn't noticeably go down a gear like Nakamura did going to WWE, he'll be fine.

WWE doesn't really do one-shot appearances (unless they are well-known to non-fans) but if he has appearing at WM on the bucket list then maybe as Cena's final opponent?

If MelTz says it, it's got to be true. Why would WWE not be interested in Okada?

Nakamura's renewed push involved him losing twice to a guy with an apparently broken back.

Yeah I agree with this...He is only 36 but he hasn't came across as this larger than life megastar that he was portrayed as in the media before AEW during his stints within AEW so I am not sure I would expect better results in WWE. Okada would also have to adapt to the more limiting style as well and with his stint of unfortunate situations (not necessarily his fault) in his matches recently (21 g1, cole, danielson, etc) I don't think changing his routine is good either. Some guys just aren't WWE guys...I feel Ospreay is another one that isn't either.
