To many professional wrestling fans, Kenny Omega is the best wrestler in the world. He has broken the Meltzer rating system on multiple occasions and in certain ways, even made New Japan Pro Wrestling a household name. He has never ruled out the idea of coming to WWE someday. His arrival could lead to a variety of really interesting possibilities.

There are a variety of ready-made storylines waiting for him, upon his arrival. There are also several dream matches in the pipeline, should he show up at the world's largest promotion. This is a fantasy booking article consisting of matches I'd like to see him take part in.

Do you think Kenny Omega can thrive in WWE? Leave a comment below and let me know your thoughts.

Here's my take on the age-old question- whom can Kenny Omega mix it up with when he arrives in WWE?


#5 Seth Rollins

Every Kenny Omega fan knows him for his signature move- The V-Trigger. Seth Rollins does a variation of the move, mixing Kazuchika Okada's Rainmaker with a knee rather reminiscent of Omega's knee. He's called it The Ripcord Knee in the past, and King's Landing on occasion as well.

When Seth Rollins first began using this move, Omega did not seem too pleased. In fact, he even sent a Tweet out expressing his disappointment, but then sent another one soon afterwards saying he was not upset and anyone is free to put his own spin on things. The Tweet below is the first one he sent out, leading me to believe there's money in a feud down the line.

Rollins and Omega can put on a match for the ages if given a chance to shine. I am certain that the WWE Universe would be thrilled to see these two men mix it up.

#4 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns was a part of the WWE Network Special- Straight to the Source with Corey Graves where he called himself the 'best performer, in ring, in the world' on record. Kenny Omega did not seem too amused by this assertion at all. He said the following in an interview with Bleacher Report, soon after:

"By no means do I actually think he believes in those words. There's no possible way."

So, there's already a sort of history between these two men. Both of these performers are smart businessmen and they can capitalize on the existing heat by putting on a fantastic program. Despite what Omega might have you think, Reigns can go in the ring and can certainly put on a clinic with Kenny Omega.

The eyes of the world will be on a clash of this massive magnitude. A lot of people will be curious to see how this program unfolds.

#3 Finn Balor

Both Finn Balor and Kenny Omega come from the infamous Bullet Club in Japan. Upon his arrival in WWE, a match between these two men could be booked and billed as a dream bout for the ages. Balor especially needs a program of this nature. He has been stuck in mid-card purgatory for a long time now!

When it comes to putting on an instant classic between the ropes, we all know that these two men can certainly do the needful and how!

#2 Daniel Bryan

This is a match made in heaven!
This is a dream match made in sports entertainment heaven!

Daniel Bryan and Kenny Omega have faced one another in the independents. And yes, they had a fantastic match back then. Omega even spoke about the possibility of facing Bryan after his return from injury, not very long ago:

"He’s one of those guys that I would love to mix it up with, and even though I loved our first singles match, I’d love to do it again and make it a little different. You know?"

This is a quote from the 'With Spandex' podcast that Omega was interviewed for. I can see the two men putting on a match for the ages, if given the opportunity. Both men are exceptionally gifted and know how to tell a story.

If Bryan chooses to not continue with WWE, we could even see this match happen in New Japan someday. But a likelier possibility involves Omega coming to WWE.

#1 AJ Styles

Some people consider AJ Styles to be the best wrestler in the world. Some others consider Kenny Omega to hold that spot. If Omega does arrive in WWE, this is a match that must happen. A clash between two Bullet Club leaders.

Omega assumed leadership of the Bullet Club when Styles left for greener pastures. There is a storyline waiting to happen between these two gladiators. A clash of titans.

Whom would you like to see Omega take on upon his arrival to WWE? Sound off in the comments, folks!

I think all of these clashes mentioned would be way 'too sweet'!
