10 Superstars' Best Matches Oustide Of WWE

1. Kevin Owens Vs Sami Zayn - PWG Steen Wolf

Some wrestlers come into WWE to build a legacy. Others come to WWE to solidify their already-spectacular legacy. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are two of the latter.

Their rivalry spanned many years and several companies, with Steen vs Generico being a must-see show touring the US. This ladder match at PWG set the wrestling world on fire. Just look at the expressions on the faces of the audience. They lose their minds for every spot in a match that escalates perfectly.

There's a Young Buck run-in, a Super Dragon return, but at its heart is the rivalry between best friends Owens and Zayn. Their disdain meant that for every attempt at retrieving the belt, they needed to take a shot at maiming each other. Ladders were crashed through all over Reseda. This is the perfect example of how wrestling can thrive outside of the WWE. Though both men would still be huge successes had they gone to NXT sooner, their legacy is entrenched in PWG, ROH and every building that they sold out.
