On the March 6 edition of AEW Dynamite, Kazuchika Okada debuted to align himself with Matthew and Nicholas Jackson of The Young Bucks as the newest member of The Elite.
Okada’s addition to the roster is a huge one at a crucial time for All Elite Wrestling, as other top free agents in Will Ospreay and Deonna Purrazzo have also signed with the promotion.With the looming arrival of Mercedes Mone, it will be interesting to look into the contract details for each of these stars.
Fightful Select (subscription required) provided an update, noting that Kazuchika Okada is expected to be full-time with AEW and is planning to relocate to the United States.
It wasn’t noted if this was Okada’s decision or a recommendation from AEW, but he is expected to work a complete schedule with the company.
Tokyo Sports provided their own update, noting that Okada’s deal with All Elite Wrestling is for three years and is worth roughly $4.5 million per year. Fightful has confirmed those numbers in their report.
In addition, the decision to have Okada turn heel and join The Elite after Kenny Omega was kicked out of the group has been planned for weeks.
