NJPW Star Kazuchika Okada Says He Will Never Go To WWE

AJ Styles recently made the jump from NJPW to WWE and there are others who aren’t far behind him. Shinsuke Nakamura is set to make his debut with the company at NXT TakeOver: Dallas on April 1st and Karl Anderson along with Doc Gallows are heavily rumored to b WWE bound as well.

One star that we know will not be making the jump to WWE is Kazuchika Okada. Okada was recently asked if he would be interested in going to WWE. He responded by saying “I will never go to WWE.”

Okada had a brief run on TNA from 2010 to 2011 that at one point featured TNA renaming him Okato and dressing him up like Kato from “The Green Hornet.” So you could probably understand why he doesn’t have much interest in coming to America at this point.

For what it’s worth, Okada was backstage for the 2015 SummerSlam pay-per-view and he was said to be very popular with the WWE crew. Okada says he’s never coming to WWE, but who knows maybe if one of the recent NJPW to WWE exports do well he’ll change his mind in the future.

Okada is currently the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.
