You don't just earn the moniker of The Best Bout Machine for nothing.

Kenny Omega is an absolute must when it comes to naming the best wrestlers of our generation. Even his biggest haters have to agree that he's exceptional in the ring and easily a cut above the rest. But more than that, he's also highly charismatic and has an infectiously fun attitude that seeps into everything he does.

Omega rose to prominence as a fan favourite performer thanks to his DDT run and Golden Lovers tandem with Kota Ibushi. But it wasn't until he broke into the infamous Bullet Club that he'd start to reach his full potential. After wrestling in the IWGP Junior Heavyweight division and working on his The Cleaner persona for some time, he made his way to the top of the NJPW card.

Nowadays, his matches in Japan are legendary, with the famous Okada vs. Omega bouts being regarded as some of the best performances in the history of the business. Still, as Omega is want to do, things haven't slowed down for him.

As the current AEW World Heavyweight Champion, he's proven himself as a full-on main event star and has established his legacy as a leading man in the sport. There's simply no denying his flawless track record inside and outside the ring.
