Cena vs Styles had one moment that kind of brings it down a small bit for me. Thevsuper attitude adjustment. They just repeated the spot and the kickout. It was a jaw dropping spot in the first match. While its still a cool spot, there was virtually no drama because logically you knew they werent going to finish on a spot AJ kicked out of in the first match. Its a small complaint, but when you're talking about matches of this calibur that kind of thing can make a difference.

Conversely, the first Omega/Okada match had a huge spot where Omega hits a top rope dragon suplex. In the rematch he goes for it again but instead of just doing the same big spot over again, Okada countdrs it. Its that kind of long term storytelling in feuds and matches that has attracted people to njpw, and its what they should have done in Cena vs Styles.
