Kazuchika Okada took to Twitter to comment on the end of his New Japan Pro Wrestling contract, writing (via translation):
"Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro Wrestling for 17 years! thank you very much! I laughed, got angry, cried, it was great! I look forward to playing the remaining three games as a free agent!"
新日本プロレス17年間お世話になりました!

ありがとうございました!
笑ったり、怒ったり、泣いたり、最高でした!
フリーとして残り3試合もよろしくお願いします! pic.twitter.com/EDBAqZSEOO
As PWInsider.com has noted, the expectation is that Okada is AEW-bound after his final NJPW appearances, which he will make as a free agent.
