Tony Khan set to edge out Triple H and WWE for top free agent’s signing - Reports 

Recent reports have shown that AEW may be a possible landing point for a certain top free agent. This was following rumors that WWE was also aiming to sign him. This would be former NJPW star Kazuchika Okada.

It was recently announced that The Rainmaker would be leaving New Japan Pro-Wrestling by the end of this month. This had suddenly awoken speculations regarding his next destination. Currently, AEW and WWE stand to be frontrunners to sign him.

A recent report from PWInsider Elite talked about how there were little to no discussions between Kazuchika Okada's repreentatives and the Stamford-based promotion. This had led to the speculation that he would most likely land in AEW. Looking at his good relationship with The Young Bucks and Tony Khan, it does look possible they would be at an advantage.

The report also mentioned TNA, and despite being a potential third option for Okada, there were apparently no discussions between the two parties regarding any appearances.
