PWTees Told to Remove ALL Kazuchika Okada Merchandise Ahead of Potential Signing
The Kazuchika Okada sweepstakes have just taken another turn.
PWTees took to Facebook to announce that they’ve been told to remove ALL of Kazuchika Okada’s merchandise from their store.
On January 18, New Japan Pro Wrestling announced that Okada would be departing the company at the end of the month.
“I have nothing but gratitude for having been a part of New Japan Pro-Wrestling since 2007, and for NJPW bringing me from a 19 year old kid off the plane in Mexico to the Rainmaker I am today. Thank you to the best of companies in NJPW, to the best of opponents that I’ve been able to face here, and to the best of fans that have cheered and booed over the years. I promise to make it rain in every match I have left, so keep watching.”

While Okada’s worked with AEW in the past, rumors have ramped up in regards to the seven-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion potentially heading to WWE, however, cold water has been tossed onto those rumors as of late.
It’s worth noting while AEW has a deal with PWTees, WWE stars such as CM Punk and Johnny Gargano currently have merchandise in their shop.
BodySlam will provide all updates on Kazuchika Okada’s free agency status as they become available.
