Nominating:

 

Kento Miyahara vs. Jun Akiyama (AJPW, 7/23)

[RyanClingman]

Nominating:

 

Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn (WWE, 07/24) -- Zayn and Owens have been tremendous opponents since their 2010s ROH feud, and whilst their main roster and NXT work hasn't come anywhere close to that iteration in terms of intensity, they managed to adapt much of what made El Generico vs. Kevin Steen so enthralling to the WWE style and Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens this month. I wrote much more about this here.

 

KUSHIDA vs. Will Ospreay (NJPW, 06/19) -- Ospreay's debut match for NJPW in April was great, but he and KUSHIDA improved on that match in every respect in their second outing. Ospreay's handless handspring back elbow will stick in my mind for a long time as one of the best move-set adaptions this year. Full discussion.
