As seen in the video below, IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada was backstage at WWE Raw last night in Phoenix.

As noted, Okada and NJPW stars were in the United States over the weekend for the G1 Climax specials in Los Angeles.

While Okada’s presence at Raw will likely begin fueling speculation about his future in NJPW and WWE, it should be noted that Okada has visited backstage at WWE events before:
