#4 CM Punk vs Kazuchika Okada
Much like Ospreay is arguably the biggest non-Japanese in-ring talent outside AEW and WWE, representing a dream opponent for CM Punk, Kazuchika Okada has to be in the argument for the best of the Japanese in-ring talent.
Okada is still very young in the business yet he has accomplished so much during his time with New Japan. He is capable of putting on pro-wrestling workshops with seeming ease and has a back catalogue of marquee matches to make any wrestling legend blush.
While the majority of accolades have been with Kenny Omega during their legendary series, it took two to tango and Okada was the perfect dance partner for The Cleaner. It feels very much like while Okada elevates those he has stepped in the ring with, and deserves a dream match to transcend his own star. CM Punk may well be the opponent to do it.
CM Punk has yet to enter a New Japan ring throughout his glittering career, and even if he makes an appearance in Strong, the clamor will always be to see him perform in Japan.
While there are plenty of other names who would also be able to tear the house down opposite CM Punk, Kazuchika Okada would be the perfect dance partner to take their clash from a dream match and turn it into one of the greatest wrestling matches of all-time.
