There have been dozens of champion in just the WWE alone in recent years who failed to truly stand out among the herd. Many of these men are fine wrestlers, but their title reigns were either short lived or they only defended the belt against a handful of challengers.

For Omega to be considered the greatest of all time, he's going to have to pin or submit the greatest wrestlers of his generation. Men like the Nature Boy Ric Flair are known for turning back challenges from the best the world had to offer, which helped cement their legacy. Compare this to a man like the Rock, who may have been a famous champion but largely defended his title against only a small amount of the same foes recycled endlessly, like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H.

Omega has defeated many top tier wrestlers, but there are some names on his list that need to be crossed off, such as AJ Styles.
