#1 Chris Jericho vs Kenny Omega - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 12
The self-proclaimed Greatest of All Time always said that he wouldn't wrestle anywhere else out of respect for Vince McMahon and the WWE. However, the opportunity to wrestle one of the 'heirs' to the throne in Kenny Omega at the Tokyo Dome was too good an opportunity to pass for Y2J.
After calling out 'The Cleaner' at Power Struggle and then attacking Omega from behind at the World Tag League Finals, Jericho got his IWGP US Title match.

This was a no disqualification match, which is rare for New Japan, and went on for 35 minutes. Both men tore the house down with brutal offense, weapons, tables and technical ability. Add to this Jericho's heel tactics and berating of Kenny throughout.
Dubbed as 'Alpha vs Omega', this match cemented Kenny Omega's stature as being amongst the best in the world with Jericho as still being in the conversation at 47 years of age. This is one match worth watching again and again.
