Following Ospreay’s successful defense of the IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Title at Forbidden Door, he and Aussie Open were taken out by Katsuyori Shibata.

This is another good one. Ospreay vs. Homicide is a match akin to Ospreay vs. Orange Cassidy in how unassumingly good it is. I remember the 8-man being fun too, while Cobb vs. Mack was more of a showcase for Mack than anything.
