In the 2022 G1 Climax, Bronson Reed (JONAH) scored a victory over Kazuchika Okada. Okada would win the rematch at NJPW Declaration Of Power.
Reed is now back in WWE, and Okada is set to become a free agent on January 31 when he departs NJPW.
Speaking to Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture, Reed was asked about possibly having the rubber match with Okada in WWE.
"Something for me, when I was able to work with Okada in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, I heard so much about Kazuchika Okada and how great he was. You always hear these things, but until you're in the ring with someone, you don't actually realize. When I was in the ring with him both times, I was like, 'Okay, he is definitely, bar none, one of the best of the world.' I never thought I would see the side of him leaving a New Japan Pro-Wrestling ring. What the future holds for him, I'm not too sure, but I would personally love to see him in WWE and also have that rubber match with him. At the moment, I've beaten him one, he's beaten me once, we have to have that third match," he said.
Okada will compete in his final NJPW matches in February, including a match against Hiroshi Tanahashi on February 11.
