Given how stacked AEW’s roster is at the time of writing, the list of dream matches that fans are putting together for Kazuchika Okada is endless. When asked who he would like to see Okada face, Matt Hardy said an old foe in a new setting would be very interesting.

“Will Ospreay is so incredible,” Hardy said. “That’s a match that stands out. I mean, he’s totally incredible. It’s like whoever you put him in the ring with, he just creates this magical realm of wrestling that is just unprecedented nowadays.” Outside of running it back with Ospreay, Hardy thinks some homegrown AEW talent could put up a good fight. “I would love to see Okada and Darby [Allin], I would love to see Okada and MJF, Okada and Jungle Boy [Jack Perry] maybe down the road. There’s a bunch of people I’d like to see him with.”

Hardy has never had the chance to mix it up with “The Rainmaker” during his career, but Eddie Kingston will get the chance this week on “AEW Dynamite.” “The Mad King” will be Okada’s first one-on-one opponent since signing for the company, and he will put his Continental Championship on the line. Okada already has a pinfall victory over Kingston, which happened on the “Big Business” edition of “Dynamite” when Okada and The Young Bucks defeated Kingston, PAC, and Penta El Zero Miedo.
