10 Wrestlers Who Could Be The AJ Styles Of 2017
3. Kazuchika Okada
The biggest star in Japan today, 'Rainmaker' Kazuchika Okada has already found himself courted by WWE on more than one occasion.
While he's publicly stated his commitment to New Japan, Okada may yet fancy a change, especially after seeing the success of his friend and peer Shinsuke Nakamura in NXT. Okada was even photographed backstage celebrating with 'The King of Strong Style' after his NXT title win in Osaka.
Already a four-time IWGP champion at the age of 29, Okada has been one of the premier in-ring workers for the last several years, producing classics with just about everyone; including a certain Mr AJ Styles.
Besides being a bonafide star, with the looks and the skills to succeed anywhere, Okada also works a main event style which is perhaps the closest to that of WWE out of anyone in Japan; something which would make the transition even easier.
