Best Okada match in AEW? I laughed when Ciampa said it was a dream match that everyone wanted. But they exceeded my expectations. A really great match. Okada is the best at doing a closing stretch. Tied between this match and the Trios match for match of the night. I loved the Hangman and Swerve interactions. I think what makes their rivalry so special is that they haven’t overdone it. They’ve had their feud, not hundreds of matches, but it’s always there, ready to go again.   

It was excellent, but definitely not in my opinion - his matches with Takeshita and in particular the triple threat with Dorada were significantly better and the tag matches against Brodido also come to mind but I’m sure there are others I’d rank above it, as good as it was. Okada often gets a bad rap for not being what he once was, and while I’ve not seen his Japanese stuff, if there has been a decline it can only have been from exceptional to superb.
