10 Best Wrestlers In NJPW (Right Now)

10. SANADA

SANADA has been pegged by some for a while as a guy with big potential, and it's been in 2018 that he's finally living up to it. Getting a more sustained push as a tag team champion, a challenger to Okada's title, and a heavy hitter in the G1's stacked B-Block, the 'Cold Skull' has been putting on great matches and showing why people see big belts in his future.

Using his speed and agility to maximum advantage, SANADA flies around the ring like a junior heavyweight while having a main-event look that someone like Vince McMahon would drool over. While from a character standpoint, he's maintained a stoic and enigmatic persona, his in-ring work has won over the crowd in a big way. While SANADA first got a huge stage challenging Okada in February, it's been this G1 where he's been able to shine outside of Los Ingobernables de Japon. With excellent matches against Hirooki Goto, Kota Ibushi, and mentor Naito, SANADA is hopefully convincing management (and the fans) that he belongs with the heavy-hitters in the main event scene.

Also, this didn't factor into my rankings, but dude's a snack. Like, dayum.
