Former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada made an appearance during tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite on TBS, officially signing with All Elite Wrestling.

During an in-character segment where The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) announced that “Hangman” Adam Page had been ‘suspended from The Elite without pay indefinitely’, while Kenny Omega had been ‘fired for not appearing in recent times’ (due to a real off-screen injury), the duo were interrupted by Eddie Kingston.

The Young Bucks beat down Eddie Kingston, with Okada’s music hitting, teasing that he was coming out to make the save, however Okada instead hit a Rainmaker on Kingston and aligned with The Young Bucks as part of a new version of The Elite moving forward.
