Fave Five 6/13/16-6/19/16

1) Dean Ambrose: I don't think that it's ever been easier to select a number one choice in such a busy week. Dean Ambrose won a great Money in the Bank Ladder match to win the coveted briefcase at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View and this was after being part of a great segment on Raw with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. After Rollins handed Reigns his first ever clean pinfall loss, Ambrose took the opportunity to cash in his briefcase and win his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship. As a cool note, all Shield members beat each other for their first titles. Seth pinned Roman at WM31, Roman pinned Dean at Survivor Series last year and now Dean pinned Seth.

            2) Katsuyori Shibata: Probably the best match of the week was the NEVER Openweight Title one at Dominion. It was between Yuji Nagata and Katsuyori Shibata at Dominion. Shibata has been at war with the older generation of NJPW guys, including Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima and Manabu Nakanishi. Nagata beat him for the belt last month but Shibata made good on his rematch. Shibata won back the title but, more importantly, got the ultimate seal of approval from all of the legends. It even made the commentator cry. It was just a fantastic moment that highlighted a good show.

3) Seth Rollins: I was close to putting Kazcuhika Okada here. He did walk out of Dominion as a four time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Instead, I went with Seth Rollins. Rollins hasn't competed on television since back in October but looked like he didn't really miss a beat. His match with Roman Reigns was damn good and he won back his title. The bigger story though was that he was the first person to hand Roman Reigns a clean pinfall loss. Not even in NXT or early Shield days had seen that happen. Granted, Seth did end up dropping the belt right after to Ambrose, but he became a two time champion and bested his Shield "brother" which has to count for something.

4) Kazuchika Okada: Like I said, he nearly made the top three thanks to leaving Dominion as IWGP Champion. Kazuchika Okada now has four IWGP Heavyweight Title reigns before the age of thirty, which is kind of insane. He defeated Tetsuya Naito to take home the title again in a booking decision that I disagreed with. Naito is the hottest thing in wrestling right now and taking the title off of him is a shitty move. This now kind of makes the G1 Climax seem obvious as many pick Naito to win so we can get their third match in this series at Wrestle Kingdom. Anyway, Okada wanted a one on one match. No Los Ingobernables, no Gedo or Chaos. He got it and won after hitting four Rainmakers.

5) Pentagon Jr.: Won the "Six to Survive" match to earn a shot at the Lucha Underground Championship at Ultima Lucha Dos.
