The beginning of a historic rivalry in New Japan Pro Wrestling!

This was the very first time two of New Japan Pro Wrestling’s top superstars went head-to-head against each other, as the challenger Kenny Omega had his sights set on Kazuchika Okada’s IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

Having never faced-off against each other in the past, Okada and Omega initially started off things in a very slow pace, however, things eventually started to get a lot stiffer as the two men started trading some hard-hitting shots and took some of the most ridiculous bumps you’ll ever see in a wrestling match.

Omega, in particular, executed some absolutely crazy spots throughout the match, with one of the biggest highlights being when he leapt on to the top rope and dived over the barricade and landed on Okada. Everything about this match was just crazy, from start to finish, both men slowly and steadily build-up the momentum and put together one hell of a masterpiece.

By the end of the evening, it was Okada who came out on top after hitting four Rainmakers on Omega, but even in defeat, the latter once again proved why he is indeed billed as ‘The Best Bout Machine’.
