New Japan Pro Wrestling star Kazuchika Okada may end up not being part of the recently announced NJPW x AEW super show.
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported on the situation, saying that fans might not see the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.
“It was actually brought up tonight to Okada, since the show was just announced in Japan as well and he mentioned that’¦ His wife’s birthday is the 28th, which is, the 28th in Japan is like like the 27th in the United States. So, it would be very difficult for him to do that show and be back for his wife’s birthday” Meltzer revealed.

“So, he sort of said he wasn’t doing the show, but he might have been kidding. But, if he is doing the show, that might be like after his match, the time to re-introduce Omega” Meltzer speculated.
“Okada’s leaving, he’s coming out. And then build for something there’¦ Probably for September or something like that. If he’s ready by September” he concluded.
