2) Former AEW World Tag Team Champions The Lucha Brothers
Trending
The Lucha Brothers are former AEW World Tag Team Champions and have been a part of the greatest tag team bouts of the past decade. Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix have a spectacular chemistry with one another and have created magic with so many different teams. From the Young Bucks to SCU, two-thirds of the Death Triangle consistently produce quality.
The Mexican-born brothers have also achieved many accolades outside of All Elite Wrestling. They are former two-time AAA World Tag Team Champions and IMPACT Tag Team Champions. The Lucha Brothers have also won gold in MLW, PWG and countless other independent promotions. With Fenix out with an arm injury, fans will have to wait a little while before Lucha Bros. tears it up again.
1) Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega
Without Kenny Omega, this list would feel incomplete. The Cleaner is one of the original building blocks - as well as one of the EVPs - of All Elite Wrestling. Omega was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He started in smaller independent promotions there before signing to WWE Developmental. The run was shortlived before he began catching eyes on the independent scene.
Omega's success led to him getting an opportunity in Japan. His matches with Kota Ibushi in DDT eventually evolved into a friendship and partnership. The Golden Lovers became a wildly popular act and got the chance to wrestle for NJPW. Both men went on to singles success before Omega turned to the dark side and joined the Bullet Club.
Kenny Omega achieved new levels to his star power by winning the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship on two occasions, the IWGP Intercontinental Championship and then became the first gaijin to win the G1 Climax tournament. The Best Bout Machine went on to Wrestle Kingdom 11 and had one of the greatest wrestling matches ever against Kazuchika Okada.
Following another landscape shifting bout against Chris Jericho, Omega defeated Okada to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Dominion 2018. After getting to the mountaintop for New Japan, The Cleaner signed with All Elite Wrestling. He stumbled out of the gates with losses to Chris Jericho, PAC and Jon Moxley.
This led to a partnership with Hangman Adam Page and winning the AEW World Tag Team Titles. They held the titles for 228 days before losing to FTR. Omega immediately focused on singles action and won the AEW World Championship at Winter Is Coming. He held the top title for 346 days, becoming the longest reigning champion. That's why Kenny Omega is the biggest AEW star not born in the US.
