10 One-Off Wrestling Tag Teams We Wanted More Of

10. Jon Moxley & Kazuchika Okada

With their highly contrasting in-ring styles and characters, as well as no previous love lost between the two wrestlers, NJPW fans were tickled by the sight of Jon Moxley and Kazcuhika Okada working together as a fairly tight-knit tag team against their opponents in Taichi and Minoru Suzuki.

The tag team match was designed to promote the following two nights of NJPW's New Beginning events, which included Okada vs. Taichi on night two and Moxley vs Suzuki for the IWJP United States Championship on night three. What ensued was an extremely strong tag team bout, and it would have been difficult to find anyone who saw the match and didn't want to watch all four competitors on the following two shows.

Along the same lines, it would have been equally difficult to find anyone who watched the match and didn't want to see Okada and Moxley join forces at least one more time down the road. Somehow the performers managed to juxtapose the chaotic brawler style of Moxley with the technical magician side of Okada and made it absolutely work.
