Kenny Omega and AJ Styles will go down as two of the best professional wrestlers of their generation. Even though they are contemporaries in many ways, Omega has Styles to thank for three pivotal moments in his career.
In September, Styles announced that he'd retire from professional wrestling next year. Omega vs. Styles is a dream match that never came to fruition, and likely won't. Despite wrestling for New Japan Pro Wrestling at the same time, the Bullet Club leaders' only meeting happened in 2006 on the Canadian independent scene.
Before their match, Omega requested his release from WWE's developmental territory, Deep South Wrestling, after becoming disillusioned with the business. He had started competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while contemplating a career in mixed martial arts.
