AEW could add a stellar star despite Kevin Sullivan's exit

AEW might have let go of a great backstage individual, but all is not lost for Tony Khan. According to Sports Illustrated, New Japan Pro Wrestling star Kazuchika Okada will soon become a free agent and might move to the land of the Elite.

Okada, whose contract is due to expire in January 2024, will have to look for a new home soon. Given that he has a good relationship with Tony Khan-led company and has even wrestled there as late as October, it should come as no surprise if he decides to go there.

While that move is always open, a move to WWE might not be off the cards. Shawn Michaels is a known admirer of the Japanese superstar, and given that he is now in charge of NXT, a move to the white & gold brand might be appealing for Okada.
