50. Jamie Hayter
A natural in every aspect of being a pro wrestler, Hayter’s performances won her a groundswell of support from fans this year. Was consistently the best in-ring amongst AEW’s Women’s division, and for all the talk of others having the star power – it’s Hayter who truly comes across like a star in an organic and meaningful way. Best bouts were against Toni Storm, Hikaru Shida, and Willow Nightingale – all of which tore the house down, and Hayter was dripping confidence every step of the way. (AC)
49. MIRAI
For whatever reason, MIRAI has gotten a baffling amount of derision since her jump from TJPW to STARDOM. Maybe it’s because her look isn’t what STARDOM has been going for lately. Nor is her powerhouse style with technical elements, which isn’t as flashy as others in STARDOM. However, she has proven to be a dependable workhorse and was one of the most unexpected highlights of STARDOM in 2022 including winning the Cinderella Tournament. Her haters are now in the mud. She is a throwback to a rou...
48. Takuma Fujiwara
The Iwate-born prodigy had barely wrestled ten matches when last year’s list came out. Fujiwara had a rookie year that should be compared with the likes of Jun Akiyama and Kurt Angle. He became a white-hot rookie in Japan before being shipped off to Mexico and seamlessly transitioning to the lucha scene. Whether it’s a Brave Gate challenge against Dragon Dia, a Korakuen singles bout with Diamante or even mixing it up with Microman, Takuma tackles every new challenge with enthusiasm and confid...
Atlantis Jr
The breakout star of the year for CMLL had a great summer run capped off by a thrilling mask vs mask match victory over Stuka Jr, which was one of the must-watch matches of 2022. (JL)
Komander
One of the only good things about the US indie scene this year was that they helped shine a spotlight on Komander. Whether it was AAA, Big Lucha, or lesser US indie promotions, the 24-year-old routinely pumped out “gif-worthy” spots en route to great matches. (CL)
Cash Wheeler
FTR Hair doesn’t have the outstanding singles resume of his partner, but he deserves mention based on his tag work alone, as FTR was the runaway pick for tag team of the year. (JL)

Jan 4, 2022 · 23. Josh Alexander. Josh Alexander should be a lot higher on this list. There’s no other way to put it. One of the best bell-to-bell wrestlers in the world in 2021, the bulk of Alexander’s work took place in relative obscurity with most of his highlights being in Impact Wrestling, AAW and New Japan Strong.
