10 best non-WWE wrestlers in the world

Modified Dec 14, 2017 17:33 GMT

#6 Lo Shirai

Being the only female wrestler on this list shows how talented this young star is. Lo Shirai accepted a contract for WWE, but the contract was rescinded by WWE citing Shirai’s recurring medical issues.

Putting her medical issues aside, Lo Shirai is the best women’s wrestler in the world today. She has held the World of Stardom title for 546 days until June 21. Notable wins against Viper, Shayna Baszler, Hojo, and Toni Storm proves the former World of Stardom Champions is resilient in the ring.

Don’t be fooled by her sweet innocent looks, this Japanese beauty is one tough competitor who can run circles around most women wrestlers.

She is only 27 years old, and has a long way to go in her career. I just hope her nagging neck issues don’t catch up with her and force her into early retirement. Her star aura assures her success wherever she goes.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
