Enter capti — The new IWGP World Champion Kenny Omega.

#4 Young Bucks

They are exciting, they are brass, they are arrogant, they are provocative...they are good, really good. The Young Bucks remain as one of the most successful and decorated tag teams in all of professional wrestling.

For many years now, fans have wondered "why are these guys not on a WWE roster?" Now the response from most of us is "why would they?" Matt and Nick Jackson may still be young, but these guys have been wrestling now for well over a dozen years. Working their way from their backyard ring, through the ranks of the California independent scene, all the way to the very top of the craft, The Young Bucks have accumulated a laundry list of championship reigns.

Not only have they held the ROH Tag Titles three-times, but they have also held the highly coveted IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Titles a total of seven-times and counting. These are just two of the many titles The Young Bucks have captured throughout their career thus far.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
