Chris Jericho vs. Kenny Omega (No DQ) for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship, from New Japan Wrestle Kingdom 12
Jericho has never faced an opponent as athletically gifted as Omega. Omega has never faced an opponent as intelligent and wily as Jericho. It's a contrast the two gleefully explore in this brutal encounter, easily Jericho's best match since WrestleMania 28 and Omega's best match since take your pick. Lion Do doesn't have as much spring in his step these days, but Omega bumps for two and that's a fair trade. The only thing holding this back is they should've gone home sooner; the crowd was hot for the finish, but they'd have been hotter for it five minutes earlier.
