Should WWE sign 'the Rainmaker?'

#5 Kenny Omega

Omega is already a ready-made WWE wrestler.

Of course, Kenny Omega would be on this list.

He's arguably the best wrestler in the world (contrary to what the Crown Jewel tournament might lead you to believe). He's named 'the Best Bout Machine' for a reason. Just go look at any of his matches with Okada. Or against the Young Bucks with Ibushi. Or any match he's had over the last four years.

He's a transcendental talent who, like Ibushi, can complete feats of strength, speed and agility that few can.

He understands the ring psychology part of wrestling that many wrestlers fail to grasp. Just watch his facial expressions and mannerisms in his matches with Okada, Ibushi, Minoru Suzuki and Chris Jericho.

Omega has been on the WWE's radar for what seems like forever, but he has opted to remain with NJPW.

It was a great decision on his part. He finally captured the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He's helped in expanding NJPW's International portfolio to the U.S. with memorable appearances at Strong Style Evolved and Fighting Spirit Unleashed. He even won the inaugural IWGP U.S. Championship at the two night G1 special in July of 2017. He's synonymous with New Japan.

The only way WWE can sign him and use him correctly is to book him on par with how Styles has been booked. Styles was already a household name before his run in New Japan but his time there only upped his profile. Omega deserves to be booked like one of the top wrestlers in WWE if signed. Anything less would be disappointing.
