Kazuchika Okada will wrestle Bryan Danielson at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 on January 4.
In a recent interview with NJPW, Okada discussed the upcoming matchup being his 20th anniversary and how much time he has left in the ring. He said,
“I debuted in 2004, so this is my 20th anniversary. I’ve come this far, no big injuries and that’s great. But I think I have less than 10 more years right at the very top. So on the way to my 30th anniversary, I have to make every day count. It’ll be a bit sad to have my 20th anniversary without a belt, so I want a singles belt around my waist in 2024. I have a lot of dreams, and the biggest is to further professional wrestling. I want more people to know how great wrestling is. To do that, I have to keep having great matches and bring them to people all over the world.”
Okada faces Danielson on Thursday, January 4 at Wrestle Kingdom 18. The event will be held at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. It will be broadcast live on NJPW World.
During a recent virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest, AEW wrestler Mark Briscoe responded to a fan who wants to see him challenge for the TNT Championship in AEW. Briscoe said,
“I like that, I like that. I’m getting a little tingle here [thinking about it]. I like that.”
The TNT Championship is currently held by Christian Cage, who lost the title to Adam Copeland and promptly regained it at AEW Worlds End 2023.
