Kazuchika Okada Teases A Rematch With Bryan Danielson
In an interview with Tokyo Sports after AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, Kazuchika Okada reflected on his match with Bryan Danielson. He noted that he hoped they could have a rematch when the time was right.
“I don’t think it’s going to be a card that everyone was so excited about, and I don’t want it to be easy,” Okada said. “However, if I had the time to repay the debt, I would break one or two more arms and win. I hope we can do it at the right time.”
For now, fans will have to wait and see whether Danielson and Okada will face off again.
