Kazuchika Okada truly is The Rainmaker if a recent report regarding his contract with All Elite Wrestling is accurate.
Former New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Kazuchika Okada made a surprise appearance on AEW Dynamite last night and sided with Matthew and Nicholas Jackson against Eddie Kingston. The company was quick to announce that Okada was officially All Elite.
In an update from Tokyo Sports, people close to Okada have informed them that The Rainmaker signed a three-year deal with All Elite Wrestling valued at an estimated two billion Yen.
According to Google, two billion Japanese Yen equals $13,510,546.00
If this report is accurate, it would mean that Okada is earning roughly $4.5 million per year with All Elite Wrestling.
Kazuchika Okada is scheduled to appear with Matthew and Nicholas Jackson as The Elite this Saturday night on AEW Collision.
WrestleZone will have live coverage of AEW Collision this Saturday evening.
