Which wrestler will rule 2018?

#2 Kenny Omega

Kenny Omega

Let's get one thing straight; The Cleaner is under contract with New Japan for all of 2018, so you WON'T be seeing him at the Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania. That being said, Kenny can make a claim as the wrestler of the year for 2017.

Not only did he put on what's being called the best match of modern pro wrestling, he set the wrestling world abuzz with rumours about joining the WWE.

Just how good is Kenny Omega? Well, John Cena is a fan, for one. And Chris Jericho was willing to give up a WWE contract for the chance to wrestle Omega. Respect among peers and fans is not an easy commodity to come by. But who wouldn't want to see the Cleaner face Cena at a big WWE event?

Chances of him ruling 2018:

Very high. Kenny Omega was the most talked about wrestler in the world last year. If he can continue that momentum into 2018, he might end up being at the top of the heap again. His upcoming bout with Chris Jericho has already set the wrestling world on fire, and they have yet to even lock up. Whatever happens, Kenny Omega will be one of the top performers of 2018.
