#1 Kenny Omega
Occupying the number one spot, we have the IWGP United States Champion, Kenny Omega. Omega’s rise to the top of the wrestling world didn’t really begin until last year. ‘The Cleaner’ shocked everyone by winning the G1 Climax in August 2016. He then went on to challenge Okada for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 11 in what many are considering one of the greatest matches in history.

The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion's meteoric rise continued when he made history by becoming the first-ever IWGP United States Champion. Omega’s name is synonymous with classic matches, and he has proved to be a big draw for NJPW.
Three 6-star matches with Okada in a period of a few months put NJPW on the map. Each match turned out to be better than their last.
Kenny Omega may very well be the best wrestler on the planet -- better than any WWE wrestler, including names like Roman Reigns, John Cena, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar, Shinsuke Nakamura and many more.
'The Cleaner' is one of those wrestlers who I never want to see wrestle for WWE ever. I don’t want him to be held back by WWE’s lack of creativity. Kenny Omega has done some of the best work of his life for NJPW. Expect him to stay at the top of the sport, with or without WWE.
