5 talents better off outside WWE

#1 Kenny Omega

The Cleaner himself

No. 1 in our list is a man who is right up there next to Okada. "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega has had an amazing year as well. Putting on six-star classics against Okada, winning the IWGP US title, and just the sheer quality of his matches in the G1 Climax over all, Omega is also up there as one of the best in the world.

Character and wrestling wise, Omega is the full package. With a heavy arsenal of high-flying and hard-hitting moves, the man has it all. His promo work resembles that of a video game villain, which makes his heel work that much more sinister. Although, at times, the Japanese can't help but cheer for his talent.

I can't imagine seeing Omega in a WWE ring anytime soon for several reasons. For starters, he's still got a good amount of time left on his current New Japan contract. In addition to this, Omega has not won the big prize yet. The one title that's been at his fingertips but never in his hand has been the IWGP heavyweight title, which is considered the most prestigious belt in the world.

Until Omega drops the US title and comes full circle by winning the heavyweight belt, I do not see him signing with the WWE anytime soon. For all you know, they may restrict his signature V - Trigger knee even though he executes it fairly safely.

Fun fact: Omega is also fluent in Japanese, which he's made clear several times by cutting short promos in Japanese after matches in the previous and current year's G1 Climax.
