10 Wrestlers Who Could Be The AJ Styles Of 2017

10. Jay Lethal

By all accounts, Jay Lethal has been on the WWE's radar for quite some time now.

Over an impressive 15 year career, Lethal has had great runs in TNA, ROH and now NJPW, and it is something of a surprise that Lethal has yet to pop up in either WWE or NXT, especially given the number of his peers who are now making waves in both promotions.

There aren't many wrestlers who've been able to reinvent themselves as well as Lethal either; from the 'Black Machismo' phase in TNA to 'The House of Truth' stable in ROH. If given the same freedom in NXT or WWE, there's no doubt that Lethal could capture the imagination of a wider audience.

At 31-years-old, Lethal is very much in the prime of his career and as a veteran of the business who is still able to pull off incredible moves in the ring and tell great stories, he could have a similar impact on the main roster as the similarly experienced AJ Styles.
