Sportskeeda WWE Awards 2016: Indie Superstar of the Year

This countdown recognises the men who dominated indie wrestling

#1 Kenny Omega

The leader of the Bullet Club has owned this year

Kenny Omega wrestled at Wrestle Kingdom 10 as a Junior Heavyweight. In just one year, he challenges Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 11, inside the Tokyo Dome. Few thought that the Bullet Club would be as hot as it is, after losing AJ Styles, Gallows and Anderson; but Kenny Omega has carried the mantle of leadership like a boss, literally.

He has also become the first non-Japanese wrestler to win the 2016 G1 Climax tournament, a truly coveted honour indeed.

Oh, did we mention, he also defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi to become the IWGP Intercontinental Champion, earlier this year? The real Bullet Club continues to dominate Japan, while WWE presents a watered down version.
