Soon-to-be free agent Kazuchika Okada will be returning to TNA Wrestling next month for their Las Vegas television tapings on Sunday, January 14.
The highly-regarded Okada, who’s expected to leave New Japan Pro-Wrestling when his deal expires in January, wrestled for TNA under the name of Okato between 2010 and 2011 and is now returning for revenge after he said he was not allowed to shine when he was with the promotion over a decade ago.
Both AEW and WWE are interested in bringing Okada in full time with them when his deal expires in late January and there’s a push from WWE to land the former IWGP Heavyweight champion in time for the Royal Rumble.
