#4.) vs Kazuchika Okada – NJPW Kizuna Road 2013
Devitt’s win over Tanahashi at Dominion in 2013 set him up for an IWGP Heavyweight Championship shot against the reigning champion and future Ace Kazuchika Okada. As per the agreement, Devitt defended his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight title against Gedo successfully and secured his world title shot. Looking to become a double-champion, Devitt put everything on the line against the champion.
Of course, The Bullet Club naturally played a part in this, trying to help Devitt. But it was the heart of Okada that proved to be superior as he defied all the odds. The match defined masterful storytelling, with Devitt showing his cockiness and arrogance, constantly taunting The Rainmaker.
Okada would miraculously come back when it seemed like it was all over, ending the match with a vicious Rainmaker to Devitt
