7: Kota Ibushi
Earlier this year, at Wrestle Kingdom 12, Chris Jericho earned his first 5-star match rating from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter for his match against Kenny Omega. While fans had high hopes for the encounter, no-one expected the encounter to be quite as excellent as it was.
Another man who has had a great year in the ring with Kenny Omega is his Golden Lovers tag-team partner, Kota Ibushi.
Ibushi is one of the most exciting in-ring wrestlers in the world, and his super babyface persona could prove to be the perfect match for Jericho's arrogant heel character work.
The two men are among the best in-ring performers in the world and a short program between Jericho and Ibushi could prove to be a great move for both men's careers.
