#4 Seth Rollins vs. Will Ospreay (WWE vs. NJPW)

Our next entry on this WWE vs. NJPW list is a matchup that is two years in the making. In 2019, Seth Rollins was the WWE Universal Champion, one of WWE's top babyfaces and was very adamant about his company's status as number one in wrestling. This drew a response from NJPW's own Will Ospreay, with the two wrestlers going back and forth.

Rollins has since become a sinster heel as the Messiah on WWE Raw and now SmackDown, while Will Ospreay has broken through in NJPW to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship this year. This would be a highly anticipated matchup based on their social media exchanges as well as similar in-ring styles.

Both men share a wide range of abilities in the squared circle. They can exchange strikes with the hardest hitters, can go hold for hold with the best technical wrestlers and take to the air with a large amount of smoothness. There are not many WWE vs. NJPW matchups that would bring as much high octane action as this one right here.

While Seth Rollins feels like he has taken a step back from where he was in 2019, Will Ospreay has definitely stepped up in importance to NJPW as well as an overall performer in character and promo work. The exchanges on the mic may be as interesting as what will occur in the ring. With both men playing heels at the moment, it would be intriguing to see what role they play in this WWE vs. NJPW encounter. The lead up might be the most unpredictable part to this story.
