* PayingTheirDues: It's widely rumored and speculated that NJPW sent Okada on that two year learning excursion with TNA to instill some humility in him, as they knew the company would do nothing with him and make him much more appreciative of the main event push he would receive when he came back. As if to illustrate TNA's incompetency, within a month of his return to NJPW, he would become one of the promotion's top stars. However, it's also been said that TNA's treatment of Okada was one of the things that soured and ultimately finished the partnership between the two promotions. That being said, despite his treatment by management, Okada is still close friends with many that were on the TNA roster at the time. He even went with Wrestling/SamoaJoe to watch ''Wrestling/SummerSlam 2015'' and a picture of them was posted to Twitter. Wrestling/TheYoungBucks (then known as Generation Me in said promotion) are also friends of his, and his referral of them led to being signed by New Japan in 2013.

* CreativeDifferences: In 2008 NJPW sent their biggest star, Wrestling/HiroshiTanahashi, to TNA as a return favor for Wrestling/KurtAngle helping settle the third IWGP belt debacle but [[HistoryRepeats abrogated the deal and pulled him out early]] when they found out what the long term plans for him ([[DemotedToExtra a lot of nothing]]) were. In fact, it is believed that the reason why they later sent Okada to TNA was because ''they were actually counting on TNA to do nothing with Okada'', so that when they brought back Okada and pushed him to become IWGP Heavyweight Champion, he would actually be grateful and appreciate it rather than letting it go to his head. If that was the case, given that the most TNA gave him was a [[Radio/TheGreenHornet Kato]] {{Expy}} gimmick, it worked flawlessly.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Okada was originally supposed to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship from Kenny Omega at Madison Square Garden but due to Omega leaving the company, he wound up winning it from Jay White instead.
