Contract details for AEW's latest signing have reportedly emerged.

Tokyo Sports reports that Kazuchika Okada's contract with AEW is a three-year deal worth an estimated $13.5 million. If accurate, that means Okada would be making roughly $4.5 million a year in AEW.

After announcing in January that he would be leaving NJPW, Okada was officially unveiled as the newest member of the AEW roster on Wednesday. He aligned with The Young Bucks on Dynamite and helped them lay out Eddie Kingston.

Okada is now in The Elite with The Young Bucks. In storyline, Kenny Omega has been "fired" from the faction while Hangman Page has been "indefinitely suspended" from The Elite.

Okada & The Young Bucks will debut as a trio on this week's episode of Collision.

AEW and WWE were both interested in Okada during his free agency, though AEW was considered the favorite to land him throughout the process. The 36-year-old Okada, who has already become one of the best in-ring wrestlers of all time, was NJPW's top star before departing the company.

AEW uploaded a post-show interview with Okada and The Young Bucks following last night's Dynamite. The Young Bucks said they hooked Okada up with their agent Barry Bloom for his contract negotiation:
