Dunno if it's my favorite of the decade, but I know it's one of my favorite off the top of my head - Zayn/Cesaro 2-out-of-3 falls. That kickout at one was a fukking moment. That was real wrestling storytelling, where even on mute, the sheer defiance in that one thing was palpable. It was the most non-verbal 'No! fukk that and fukk you!' I've ever seen in a match without needing to outright flip someone off.

They really need to start letting Sami do what he does is best. No less than top 5 in the company

And to answer the OP, ima roll with Okada/Shibata.

I think might mine be that Survivor Series match when Roman and Seth were on one side and Dean was on the other and they still hit somebody with that Shield Powerbomb. I forgot was year it was.

Or one of the gargano takeover main events.

That was when they put AJ Styles thru the announce table. I think it was the 2016 Survivor Series. Ambrose and Styles had beef. I'm not sure if Ambrose was still WWE Champion at the time.

Okada/Shibata. That's it.

It's a match that shouldn't be aging well, considering what happened to Shibata. But it's still pure piff. I think what makes the match so good is that Okada has learned the true secret to pulling great 30+ minute matches: work the other guy's style for a bit.

Im surprised Okada/Shibata is getting this much love, he had way better matches than this years G1 alone

Omega/Okada 4 and Garano/Alamas got me back into wrestling after taking 4 years off
