The current IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada, spoke with Pro Wrestling Illustrated following being ranked #1 on their top 500 wrestlers list. During the interview, Okada was asked if fans will ever see him in a WWE ring and here’s how he responded:
Okada: “It’s not something I think about. New Japan is far superior to WWE when it comes to the quality of the roster and the quality of the matches. One thing I will say is that I do pay attention to what Finn Balor, AJ and Nakamura are doing and they look like they’re having fun. I might want to wrestle them again someday, but I might want to do that in New Japan. Hell, I might want to be like some other people and become a movie star or join the UFC, you never know.”
