12 Best Runs By WWE Stars In OTHER Companies
9. Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly - NJPW
Before the Undisputed Era, there was ReDRagon. Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly have been one of the wrestling world's premiere tag teams for almost a decade, winning titles across the globe since forming way back in 2012. Three runs as ROH World Tag Team Championships saw the duo established as one of the finest teams on the planet, a trio of reigns that gave the fans tremendous matches with teams like The Young Bucks, The Briscoes, The Addiction and more.
It was in ROH that ReDRagon started taking names, but it was in New Japan Pro Wrestling that they did their best work. Fish and O'Reilly utterly dominated NJPW's junior heavyweight tag division, like few teams before them. Sure, the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships were only captured on two occasions, but there is more to this than meets the eye.
Fish and O'Reilly were one of the most protected teams in modern New Japan history. The company isn't famed for paying that much attention to its tag team division but it did so here, protecting ReDRagon at all costs. In standard tag team matches the duo came out of the company with an astounding record of 44-2, a record that slips when multi-team matches are taken into consideration, despite them never taking the fall. Throw in both men coming close to dethroning Katsuyori Shibata as NEVER Openweight Champion and you've got yourself a couple of career highs.
Kyle O'Reilly may well go on to eclipse this record in WWE, but for now NJPW remains the finest part of ReDRagon's career.
