10 Best Options To Be WWE's Next Top Guy
2. Kenny Omega
Okay, let's get really ambitious.
So, you're WWE. You've decided you have absolutely no problem taking exorbitant amounts of blood money from the Saudi government, so you're not hurting for cash in the slightest. But you've got some problems Your top star is gone indefinitely with a life-threatening illness. Plus, you have this pesky New Japan Pro Wrestling continuing their expansion into your territory, including your spiritual home. They're not a threat, but they're mightily inconvenient. However, their top foreign star, their champion, has his contract expiring soon, and he's intentionally coy about where his loyalty lies.
So with WWE flushed with cash and lacking a clear top guy... the idea of signing Kenny Omega must be even more tantalizing at this point. Obviously, Omega is a proven commodity as a top guy, even if it's in a much smaller company like New Japan. The fact is: he has the tools that would get him over in any capacity, and if WWE would allow him to be more-or-less himself, he could be a huge asset for them.
Ultimately, the ball appears to be in WWE's court. Do they make the big investment... or do they look to someone who's been there from the start?
