10 HUGE AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door 2023 Predictions You Need To Know
3. Kenny Omega (c) Vs. Will Ospreay
Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay contested what many fans considered the 2023 Match Of The Year on January 4th.
Their Wrestle Kingdom 17 classic wasn't just the first serious contender for the honour, but an extremely realistic one considering the fact that the year was less than a hundred hours old. Revealing itself from a build positioning Ospreay as the man that had supplanted Omega on the biggest stage, the story of the match quickly sought to prove the opposite.
The physically exhilarating bout was an exhibition of both mens' incredible arrays, but a reminder for Will Ospreay that 'The Best Bout Machine' was back at his best, and good enough to regain an IWGP United States Title he'd launched when Ospreay was still just aggravating bad faith actors for flipping sequences with Ricochet.
With Don Callis promising a massive security detail for his new "Bruv" following Ospreay's remarks about Canada, expect this one to skew more North American stylistically, with the former Champion regaining the crown as a way to set up the rubber match and give Callis and Omega yet more fuel for a brimming fire still teasing to set all of AEW ablaze.
Winner - Will Ospreay
