Kazuchika Okada will now return to AEW.
The NJPW icon has made multiple appearances for the company, most recently losing to Bryan Danielson at NJPW x AEW Forbidden Door 2 earlier this year.
Now, it appears this rivalry is far from being over as on Wednesday’s show, it will be renewed.
As announced during Battle Of The Belts VIII, Okada will return to Dynamite to team with International Champion Orange Cassidy to take on the Blackpool Combat Club’s Claudio Castagnoli and Bryan Danielson.
Tony Khan announced the news on social media.
