Hey Folks, the SLTD ‘Fantasy Fight Friday’ team are back with another dream match for the ages. This time is AJ Styles vs Kenny Omega. Although Styles and Omega have crossed paths before they have never had a one on one match.
No one can deny that if AJ Styles had not signed with WWE the night after Wrestle Kingdom 10 and the night after played out the same way with the Bullet Club turning on Styles, with Omega taking the leadership mantel, this match would have happened.

What do the ‘Fantasy Fight Friday’ Team think?
@TomRobinson5199 – (Armbar Analysis)
“For me, it’s all about the experience. Kenny Omega is an unbelievable act but AJ is on another level. AJ won the IWGP title in his first match while Omega still has yet to make it to the top. AJ gets it done when it counts so he’s my winner for this match”
@mrnebarry – Old Skool View
“Styles vs Omega…..Two of the very best in the world without a doubt, however there’s one massive difference….Styles has done it wherever he has been, Omega hasn’t….yet. That is what gives AJ the edge for me. If you ask me the question who would win in a few years time maybe I’d think differently, but AJ at his best, beats Omega at his best 9 times out of 10″
@Tybo_SLTD – Tybo Talks
“There is no denying that Kenny Omega is one of the best wrestlers outside of WWE right now, and up till a few years ago that mantel was owned by AJ Styles. The story of this match writes itself, Styles was the leader of the ‘Bullet Club’ they turned on him and Kenny Omega became the head of the faction. The feud for this match is already set, but who win?
Right now they both make claim to be the ‘United States Champion’ and either could be called the best. For me it boils down to the facts, AJ Styles has been a World Champion wherever he has been. In fact he is the only man to be a TNA, NJPW and WWE World Champion, its for this reason I would be a fool to say Omega can get the job done… yet.”
That’s what the ‘Fantasy Fight Friday’ Team think, its an AJ Styles clean sweep.
