Kazuchika Okada's match is set for next Friday's CMLL Arena Mexico show.

CMLL has confirmed the card for the August 17 event, with Okada teaming with Ultimo Guerrero & Negro Casas against Caristico (the original Mistico), Mistico & El Valiente. The main event will be Volador Jr.,Matt Taven & King Phoenix (Fenix) vs. Rush, Cavernario & La Bestia del Ring (Pierroth).

This will be Okada's first match after NJPW's G1 Climax. He went to a draw with Hiroshi Tanahashi on the last A Block show, with Tanahashi advancing to the finals (which will take place at 2 a.m. Eastern time overnight tonight) because of the result.

Okada has been part of CMLL's Fantastica Mania tours with NJPW in Japan, but this will be his first match for CMLL in Mexico. He wrestled for Toryumon Mexico at the start of his career.
