Kazuchika Okada wants to see WWE and NJPW come together for a huge tournament.
The Forbidden Door is wide open right now and it’s quite evident courtesy of NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17. The grand pay-per-view featured contracted wrestlers from WWE, AEW, and NJPW.
While speaking to Tokyo Sports, Kazuchika Okada shared his own pitch for a cross-promotional world cup tournament, The 35-year-old wrestler is even ready to approach Triple H and Tony Khan with the idea.
“It would be interesting to have a wrestling World Cup, it would be fun to have a big event on a global scale. We could have a tag team of Okada and Nakamura or Naito to fight for their country. If necessary I will go see Tony Khan and Triple H.”
