WWE and AEW are the biggest promotions in wrestling today, and that's not surprising considering that both companies have rosters filled with very talented wrestlers. Obviously American talent is the foundation, with wrestlers like Roman Reigns, Bryan Danielson, Seth Rollins and Adam Page, but foreign talent is also key.
In both WWE and AEW there are several extremely talented foreign wrestlers from Mexico, Japan, Canada, or anywhere else in the world, who bring a different wrestling style and even attract new fans.
10 WWE: Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens is not only one of the best WWE wrestlers born outside the United States, but one of the best WWE wrestlers in general. The 37-year-old Canadian always delivers. His in-ring skills are outstanding, and his mic work is world-class. Kevin Owens is always fun to watch, which is precisely why he is Monday Night Raw's main-eventer and why he headlined the first night of WrestleMania 38 with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
9 AEW: Andrade El Idolo

Andrade El Idolo is an excellent wrestler, with a great mixed lucha libre and all-around style. The Mexican wrestler puts on good shows on a regular basis and his heel work is outstanding. However, his talent was wasted in WWE, and in AEW he hasn't received a big push either, but at least he's on TV frequently, and it's possible that he will win the TNT Championship this year. Andrade El Idolo is undoubtedly one of the best AEW wrestlers born outside the United States.
8 WWE: Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn was born in Quebec, Canada. He is 37 years old and is undoubtedly one of the best foreign wrestlers in WWE. Certainly, Sami Zayn is not a wrestler with the most titles, nor with the most wins, rather he is a coward who runs away from matches, but he just fulfills perfectly the role assigned to him by WWE.
In addition, when Sami has to fight, he does it flawlessly, because his talent in the ring is undeniable. Sami Zayn is a worker that everyone would like to have in their company.
7 AEW: Hikaru Shida

Hikaru Shida is arguably the best female wrestler in AEW, so obviously she is one of the best non-US born wrestlers in the company. Shida's in-ring skills are exceptional, which is why she can have a great match with any opponent. In fact, several women have had their best match against Shida, such as Tay Conti, Serena Deeb, Penelope Ford and Nyla Rose. The 33-year-old Japanese wrestler is simply on another level.
6 WWE: Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch is one of the greatest female wrestlers in WWE history, and best of all, she will continue to build on her unique legacy for years to come. The 35-year-old Irishwoman has held six championships in WWE, and she was one of the first women to headline WrestleMania. Becky Lynch's greatness is immeasurable. She is a wrestling icon, and was the first woman in WWE history to actually be considered the top face of the company.
5 AEW: Thunder Rosa

Reigning AEW Women's World Champion Thunder Rosa is an extraordinary wrestler, with outstanding in-ring skills, and an innate fighting spirit. In terms of in-ring psychology, Thunder Rosa is second to none on the AEW roster. Rosa always delivers, and it is worth mentioning that she is the female wrestler with the second-most singles wins in AEW history. Thunder Rosa is probably the best Mexican-born female wrestler in the world today.
4 WWE: Edge

Another Canadian who is among the best WWE wrestlers born outside the United States is Edge, and there is no doubt that he remains one of WWE's best foreign wrestlers. There is no need to mention Edge's illustrious career, with all of his accomplishments and memorable moments, as he is still rocking today.
Edge had a fantastic 2021, winning the Royal Rumble match, headlining WrestleMania and having one of the best feuds of the year, against Seth Rollins, and this year Edge continues to be one of WWE's biggest draws.
3 AEW: Rey Fenix

Unfortunately, Rey Fenix suffered an arm injury that took him off TV for the last three months, something truly unfortunate, because Rey Fenix's matches are highly entertaining. Rey Fenix usually wrestles alongside Penta El Zero Miedo, forming one of the best tag teams in AEW, but Fenix also does very well in singles action, and he has proven it on several occasions. The Mexican wrestler has an incredibly wide arsenal of moves, and no one has better command of the ropes than he does. Rey Fenix is a wrestler worth watching.
2 WWE: Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre could not miss this list, as he is one of the best wrestlers out there, hands down. The 36-year-old Scotsman has everything it takes to be WWE’s top babyface champion. He is even one of the main candidates to dethrone Roman Reigns, and that’s saying something. Drew McIntyre is an excellent performer, with extraordinary in-ring skills for a guy of his size. In addition, Drew is an extremely charismatic guy, and his promos are pretty good.
1 AEW: Kenny Omega

Canadian Kenny Omega is the best AEW wrestler born outside the United States. Omega is called "The Best Bout Machine" for a reason, because his specialty is delivering phenomenal matches. Omega is one of the best storytellers of this generation, a once in a lifetime talent. Right now Kenny Omega is recovering from his injuries, but fans can't wait to see him back in the ring to deliver terrific shows time and time again, as usual.
