5 AEW-NJPW dream crossover matches that need to happen

#2 Kazuchika Okada vs PAC

Okada has faced some of the best Jr. Heavyweight stars from around the world

Now that PAC has finally made his debut for All Elite Wrestling, the former Open the Dream Gate Champion is open to several matches we would like to see him in. For instance, matches against the likes of Pentagon Jr., Rey Fenix, and Jon Moxley are matches that promise to be an instant classic.

But, if given the chance, I personally feel that if there's anyone PAC should face from the New Japan roster then it's non-other than current IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Kazuchika Okada.

In the past, we've seen The Rainmaker compete against some of the absolute best Jr. Heavyweight stars in the form of Will Ospreay and Marty Scurll. And adding another Brit to that list of junior heavyweights means we could be in for another dream match.

Personally, the reason why I opted for PAC as Okada's opponent is due to the fact that The Rainmaker has already faced the likes of Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho, and Adam Page from the AEW roster.
