Kazuchika Okada and New Japan Pro Wrestling have announced that Okada is leaving NJPW. Where will he end up? We talk about the possibilities of the Rainmaker in both AEW and WWE, as well as where we think he ends up.

Then, our main topic takes a look at what it would be like if WWE and AEW could engage in trades for talent like major sports franchises. We propose several ideas and discuss whether WWE and AEW would be open to them (and why). A really fun exercise.
