#3 Kazuchika Okada vs AJ Styles, Dominion 7.5

Two of the best wrestlers in the world (then and now) produced an instant classic here

For those of you who are viewers of WWE, you will recognise AJ Styles in this match. While Styles has been nothing short of spectacular in WWE, his best work is in NJPW, and this is his best match from his time there.

This sensational match is capped off by one of the craziest and best finishing sequences to a match ever. The storytelling in this match is captivating, with Okada defined perfectly as the babyface fighting the odds while Styles is the heel faction leader doing what he can to retain his title. While there is some interference at the start, that soon disappears, and the incredible counters, sequences and moves begin.

Two of the best wrestlers in the world at the time (and still today) going back and forth in front of an incredibly hot crowd, with an absolutely amazing finishing sequence. It was magic, and it is certainly worth watching as a new NJPW viewer. This match got a 4.75 star rating.
