5 potential opponents for Miro in NJPW

#2 Miro vs. Kazuchika Okada

Kazuchika Okada isn’t just good, he is otherworldly good. Okada is NJPW’s most prominent and brightest star, the face of the company and a wrestler every fighter, including Miro should aspire to face.

In a match with Okada, Miro would have to bring his A-game. After years of being held back by the “WWE style,” there can be little doubt that Miro would bring the best of his best.

This match would be a thrilling explosion of technique and skill vs power and strength. But don’t forget the charisma these two competitors possess. Their personalities and presence would be off the charts and could easily rival the action in the ring.

Okada established himself as one of, if not the best wrestler in the world years ago. For Miro to face off against Japan’s most prominent wrestling star would be a fantastic occasion and one that would allow him to establish himself as a top-tier star.

#1 Miro vs. Tetsuya Naito

Tetsuya Naito and Miro have very similar career paths. They are both very charismatic and have developed incredibly-over gimmicks, Los Ingobernobles and Rusev Day respectively, while being overlooked when it came to that “main event push.” But that is where the similarities end.

Over the past couple of years, Naito has established himself as a true main event wrestler, which was no easy feat with Tanahashi and Okada around. In contrast, Miro (as Rusev) was unable to break through into the top tier of WWE.

A match between Miro and Naito could tell an incredible story if they were to bring up their respective pasts. And if Miro were to pick up the victory, what a fantastic tale of redemption that would make.
