The wrestling world was abuzz with speculation as fans eagerly awaited Kazuchika Okada's decision between AEW and WWE. Many WWE fans were hopeful that the legendary Japanese wrestler would join their ranks, but were left gutted when he made his debut on AEW Dynamite on Wednesday night.
Okada, who recently left New Japan Pro Wrestling after 17 years, surprised everyone by teaming up with old friends Matthew and Nicholas Jackson to join The Elite in AEW. This move came as a shock to fans, especially with Kenny Omega being "fired" and "Hangman" Adam Page being "suspended" from the group.
AEW fans were overjoyed to see Okada finally make his highly-anticipated debut, with owner Tony Khan even declaring him as the newest business partner of The Elite. In a tweet, Khan officially welcomed Okada to AEW, and the wrestler himself simply tweeted "Hello" to acknowledge the announcement.
The news of Okada signing with AEW has left many WWE fans reeling, as they had hoped that boss Paul "Triple H" Levesque would be able to convince the decorated champion to join Raw or SmackDown. Some fans have even urged Triple H to "fight back" after missing out on Okada, especially since other top wrestlers like Will Ospreay and Mercedes Banks are also rumored to join AEW.
Despite WWE's recent signings of CM Punk and up-and-coming talents like Bron Breakker, Trick Williams, and Tiffany Stratton, some fans are still worried about the company's future. They have urged Triple H to take action and not let AEW continue to dominate the wrestling scene.
Even WWE superstar Shinsuke Nakamura, who is good friends with Okada, has seemingly reacted to the news with a simple "Really" on his Threads account. However, it's worth noting that WWE still has a strong roster with both established and rising stars, including Drew McIntyre, Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, and Rhea Ripley.
And let's not forget that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is back in the fold and set to have his first match in eight years at WrestleMania 40 next month. With all of these factors considered, WWE is still in a fantastic spot and continues to draw in a dedicated fan base.
