6 Potential Kazuchika Okada WWE WrestleMania 40 Opponents

WWE/NJPW

Major news came out of the world of New Japan Pro Wrestling last night, when it was announced that their star player, Kazuchika Okada, would be leaving the company at the end of his current contract on January 31.

With Okada set to become a free agent, both AEW and WWE set to fight hard to secure the Rainmaker’s services.

While there are a lot of signs that point towards him heading to AEW, imagining the coin dropping for a huge entrance at WrestleMania 40 could be too much to turn down.

Here are 6 potential WrestleMania 40 opponents for Kazuchika Okada should he sign with WWE following his free agency.

Gunther

This is the number one match people have been pitching for Okada in WWE, and it’s obvious why, because it’s the Ring General.

Gunther has defeated all comers during his reign so far, and an outsider like the Rainmaker coming in to face off against him could be the only way to dethrone him.

It would also be a huge statement of intent for Okada’s run in WWE, if he came in and was the first person to pin Gunther in his WWE main roster career.

Gunther recently hit a Rainmaker during a title defence, as well as Michael Cole asking if “anyone in the world” could defeat him, which some could take as a hint. Not me of course.
