The holder of three 6 star matches and part of a generally accepted 'greatest match of all time' against Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega actually had a year in WWE's developmental territory, Deep South Wrestling in 2005. Training under the tutelage of Bill DeMott and Bob Holly, Omega had a selection of matches against Heath Slater and Matt Striker before ultimately asking to be released from his contract and allowing him to return to the Canadian independent scene.

Fast forward a few years and Omega was winning the PWG Battle of Los Angeles and becoming PWG World Champion, and then onto NJPW in 2010 becoming an IWGP Intercontinental Champion, IWGP Jr Heavyweight Champion and currently the IWGP US Champion. Kenny is the leader of the Bullet Club and is known around the world as possibly the greatest in-ring performer.
