Kazuchika Okada is wrapping up his time in NJPW as he’s expected to depart from the promotion and head to the US to start the next chapter in his successful career.
As previously reported, Okada is headed to AEW once he finishes up his commitments with NJPW. It’s unclear exactly when he will start with All Elite Wrestling or who his first feud will be with.
Okada’s final two matches in NJPW have been announced, with them taking place at the New Beginning in Sapporo cards on February 23 and 24.
The first show will see Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI, and YOH take on Jeff Cobb, Great-O-Khan, Aaron Henare, Francesco Akira, and Callum Newman while the following night will have him team with Hiroshi Tanahashi, Ishii, Goto, and YOSHI-HASHI against Matt Riddle, Cobb, Great-O-Khan, Henare, and Akira.
Tama Tonga will also work his last match with NJPW on the 24th when he teams with Tanga Loa to take on fellow Guerillas of Destiny stablemates Hikuleo and ELP.
