Tony Khan Teases Bringing In Top NJPW Star To AEW?
AEW President Tony Khan has teased that Kazuchika Okada or Tomohiro Ishii could be appearing on AEW programming soon.
Following Friday's live broadcast of Rampage, Khan went out to the ring and addressed Orange Cassidy losing to Matt Hardy in a Lumberjack Match. As seen in the video below, Khan said that the next time someone from AEW's roster battles Hardy's HFO stable, he should consider bringing in someone else from NJPW stable Chaos.
Earlier this week on Dynamite, Cassidy and The Best Friends were announced as the newest members of Chaos. On commentary, the announcers name dropped Okada, the leader of Chaos, several times.
It is worth noting that Okada and Ishii are both currently in the United States.
Cassidy lost the Lumberjack Match to Hardy after constant interference from members of the HFO.

"Might I suggest that maybe next time you bring someone else from Chaos. If there is a next time. Could be a good idea. Maybe not who you think, but it might be who you think. I just think it's a good idea" .@TonyKhan #AEWRampage #FullGear pic.twitter.com/qRuwSCMV5i
