20 Absolute Best Wrestlers In The World Right Now
7. Rey Fenix
A caffeine hit of a wrestler guaranteed to inject instant energy and excitement into any show he appears on at the moment, Rey Fenix is in the best form of his AEW career, heating himself up to the point that it'd be a considerable disappointment if the promotion didn't do something big with him after Revolution.
Fenix isn't currently on the pay-per-view card. High-effort, all-action showings in ever Dynamite match he has competed in this year suggested he should be.
Versus Kenny Omega on 6 January, Fenix brought the kind of the state-of-the-art fireworks show his reputation is built on, matching The Best Bout Machine in a tough-to-execute but easy-to-watch popcorn match, the ring a blank canvas for their wild creativity. He has been the best thing in both of his multi-man tags, too, and though he lost to Lance Archer last week, Fenix was elite once more. The greatest high-flyer in the business was at his dynamic best.
These kinds of showings can't be allowed to go unnoticed by management - and hopefully they haven't. Fenix has been a whirlwind in 2021, and wrestling's most reliable excitement machine.
