#1 Rey Fenix - AEW

There is no wrestler on the AEW roster quite like Rey Fenix. He blazed a trail from Mexico to IMPACT Wrestling before coming to All Elite Wrestling. Fenix stands out whether it's in singles, tag teams or multi-man competition. The luchador has stunned fans across the world with his fantastic high flying abilities. His skills are unmatched by anyone in All Elite Wrestling or anyone in the business today.

Rey Fenix is a genius in the air and seems to come up with a brand new innovative offense every single matchup that he has. The level of creativity on display during his contests is remarkable. His Lucha Brothers tag team with brother Penta El Zero Miedo has put on some of breathtaking encounters in his two years with AEW.

The Escalara De La Muerte Ladder Match with The Young Bucks at All Out 2019 still stands as one of the most outstanding matches in the company's history. Rey Fenix and Nick Jackson put on a high-flying extraganza against one another in the early days of AEW Dynamite as well. Some of his aerial feats have caused him injury, but when Fenix executes it perfectly, it is phenomenal.

This year, Rey Fenix has showcased on several occasions why he is the best high flyer in the world. On the January 6th AEW Dynamite, his AEW World Championship Match against Kenny Omega was a spell binding clash that had inventive sequences. His showdown with Lance Archer was a dazzling main event that made both men look like the main eventers they are.

Fenix has also performed marvelously in tag team action in 2021 as well. His tag team with Death Triangle teammate PAC has proven to be just as impressive as the Lucha Bros. PAC and Rey Fenix put on an all-time AEW Dynamite classic against The Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championships on the April 14th episode.

Rey Fenix blends out of this world aerial onslaught with lucha libre-based sequences that make him not just an excellent high flyer, but also one of the best wrestlers in the world. He reminds many pro wrestling fans of young Rey Mysterio. He has even drawn that comparison from Mysterio himself. That's why Rey Fenix is the best high-flying wrestler on the current AEW roster.
