#5 Kazuchika Okada on WWE\'s radar
After snatching up Shinsuke Nakamura from New Japan Pro Wrestling, WWE is looking to add another big Japanese name into their roster in the form of Kazuchika Okada. Okada, who is currently 28 years old, is a three times IWGP Heavyweight champion and has had brief spells in TNA.
He has three five-star matches to his name with two in 2013 and one in 2015, all of which happened against Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Without much doubt, the addition of Okada would be a great move for the WWE roster, but it would be interesting to see how NJPW would react to the offer as they are unlikely to let him go.
