WWE 2K18: 10 Leading Contenders To Be Cover Star
6. AJ Styles
We all know that AJ Styles is everything that he claims to be, but even he must be a little bit surprised as to how well his run in WWE is going over a year in. He's small, relatively, and southern; two things that are Vince McMahon's list of 'things not to be if you're going to be a bonafide main event WWE Superstar.'
Styles' brilliance has turned himself face on SmackDown Live as his popularity continues to grow. Picking him to be the Face That Runs The Place in WWE's virtual universe would be a smart choice due to how he is viewed by seemingly every demographic the company want to appeal to. Us smarks love him for his work outside of WWE and for being the best damn wrestler on the planet today while the more casual fans love him for being so entertaining each and every Tuesday night. As for the kids, they just love the replica gloves don't they?
There's no doubt AJ Styles' success inside WWE's ring should continue. He's earned that right. But the older he gets, the more likely it is that he'll drop down the card. He'll be 40 by the time 2K18 hits the shelves in the Autumn so in terms on cashing in on his stellar work, there's no better time than the present for WWE.
