IWGP Heavyweight champion Kazuchika Okada was backstage at WWE Raw last night in Phoenix. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything and he was likely just visiting since he was in the United States for the NJPW G1 Special in California over the weekend.
He’ll also be backstage at SmackDown Live tonight, according to PWInsider, and has been backstage at the past few SummerSlams.
