Okada still intends to face Bryan Danielson in the ring before his career is done.
Kazuchika Okada is hailed as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time and it is not hard to see why. The multi-time IGWP Heavyweight Champion has competed in some of the best matches in recent memory.
While speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Okada made it clear that he wanted to see Bryan Danielson at the event, noting he still wants to face “The American Dragon.”
“I was hoping to meet Bryan Danielson at Forbidden Door, but unfortunately that couldn’t happen. Since we couldn’t talk backstage, I’m happy to meet him in the ring next time.”
AEW is a great promotion, I definitely felt that in my time there. There are places where they win out over NJPW, and areas where New Japan is superior as well. I think both sides came away with something to learn and work on, and I’d love to have another event with those lessons learned. Last time was in the U.S., so let’s have it in Japan next time.”

We will have to wait and see whether Bryan Danielson will ever square off against Kazuchika Okada in the future or not.
