#9 Omega vs Kushida- Wrestle Kingdom 10, 2016

Omega and Kushida were two of the biggest Jr. Heavyweight rivals

Prior to Kenny Omega’s betrayal of AJ Styles, his eventual jump to NJPW’s heavyweight division, and him becoming the leader of The Bullet Club, ‘The Cleaner’ wrestled in his final match as a Jr. Heavyweight when he went toe-to-toe against his arch-rival Kushida for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 10.

Considered as two of the finest Jr. Heavyweights of all time, Kushida and Omega, much like every other occasion, successfully managed to put together yet another clinical match against each other with an incredibly fast pace throughout the contest. There were also some tremendous spots during this match, with one of the most memorable of them is when Kenny moonsaulted off a guardrail with a trashcan in his hand and eventually landed on top of Kushida.
