#1 Will Ospreay vs. Kazuchika Okada (G1 Climax 30 Night 17 on October 16th)
Trending
Nights 17 and 18 of the G1 Climax 30 will determine which competitors win the A and B Blocks to meet in the finals of the tournament. Out of all the matches on these nights, the encounter between CHAOS stablemates, Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay, stands out the most. In a lot of fans' eyes, these two men had the best match of the G1 Climax 29, and now this rematch may decide the entire A Block.
Okada and Ospreay have met on five occasions including what came to be the NJPW tryout match for "The Aerial Assassin" back in Revolution Pro in 2015. Since that first match, they have formed a friendship that has developed to a brotherhood with Ospreay being the little brother to Okada. However ahead of this G1 Climax 30 battle, Ospreay is 0-5 against "The Rainmaker".

This battle should have an impact on the A Block of the G1 Climax 30 and may very well be the final match of that side of the tournament. Kazuchika Okada has a lot riding on this tournament. He has to get his spot back at the top of the mountain after what has unquestionably been a down year for the former five-time and longest reigning IWGP Heavyweight Champion of all time. However, Will Ospreay can not afford another loss against his CHAOS big brother. Going 0-6 against Okada may forever keep him in the shadow of a man he has so much respect for.
Regardless of their standings in the G1 Climax 30, this encounter is very important for both men. This will dictate where both men will be at WrestleKingdom and in the future plans for NJPW. The winner of this contest could also be looked at as "the man" in the entire CHAOS stable. That is why this is the most must-see match of the entire G1 Climax 30 tournament and will likely be one of the best matches of 2020.
