10 Best Non-WWE Wrestlers Of 2016 (So Far)

10. Zack Sabre Jr.

Zack Sabre Jr. may be one of the best wrestlers in the world, but he might not be eligible for this list for long. The British star is currently competing in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic, and it's rumored that the company has interest in signing him to a contract. For now, though, he's still a free agent.

Said free agency has allowed Sabre to travel the world perfecting his craft and cementing his reputation, and this year has been no different. While he left Japan's Pro Wrestling NOAH in 2015, that's opened up the door for him to spend more time competing in the U.S.

As a result, he captured his first major American title - the PWG World Championship - from Roderick Strong in March. The next month, he dazzled fans in EVOLVE with a Dallas classic against Will Ospreay.

Those U.S. commitments haven't stopped Sabre from dominating in his home country, mind. In January, he captured the Revolution Pro British Heavyweight Championship from AJ Styles, a belt he's defended against Michael Elgin, Big Damo, and Katsuyori Shibata.

All in all, not a bad six months for the rising star.
