* Okada vs. Suzuki at Royal Quest 2019. Okada has to deal with the veteran tactics, multiple grapple moves, and hard-hitting techniques of a live underdog in the [[BadassGrandpa older Suzuki]].

** vs. Will Ospreay in a Champion vs Champion match at the 46th Anniversary ShowShow. In their first outing, Ospreay did a ton of cool stuff throughout the match and Okada was excellent as usual. It won’t win match of the year votes or anything, but this was a strong showing by both men and they had a really great, fun match.
