#2. Chris Jericho winning clean in the main event

Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega faced off for the second time on PPV after their last encounter on January 4th, 2018. If you're not aware, that was in NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom 12, where Kenny Omega defended the fairly new IWGP United States Champion against Chris Jericho, who made a shocking debut with NJPW.

It turned out to be one of Jericho's career-great matches, even receiving a 5-star rating from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. It was a no-brainer that Omega vs Jericho was the main event to make for the first PPV.

And to nobody's surprise - it delivered. The two put on a war of the ages in an epic main event. With Omega being the younger star with a bigger prospect, many felt he would win. They were surprised when Jericho brought out his new finisher and ended up beating Kenny Omega clean, making their score 1-1.
