While last year's Wrestle Kingdom had the fans split between Omega vs Jericho and Okada vs Naito for their favourite, this year though, there is an undisputed best bout.

A nearly fifty-minute encounter, the longest for a Wrestle Kingdom Main event, resulted in a record eighth title reign for the once in a century talent.

The story of old ways and traditions against the radical and the modern had their representatives in Tanahashi and Omega respectively.

Kenny Omega's defeat was a hint at his decision of jumping ship to the newly announced All elite Wrestling. That gives way to, perhaps, a final run at the top for the undisputed ace of the promotion.

The upcoming feuds of the IWGP Heavyweight champion look promising, Jay White seems like the front-runner considering his challenge at January 5th's New Year Dash event!


So that's it for the list, what were your other favourite moments. Do let me know your thoughts in the comments below:)
