10 Best WWE Entrances Of 2016
3. AJ Styles - Royal Rumble
Notable mainly for the significant impact it had, both for AJ Styles and the WWE, The Phenomenal One’s debut at Royal Rumble sent a shockwave across the Amway Centre. The early parts of the entrance might have been obscured by the camera operator’s apparent fixation with Roman Reigns’ confused frown, but once the words ‘I Am Phenomenal’ lit up the Titan Tron, the pro-wrestling world was lit ablaze.
AJ looked genuinely humbled as he made his way down to the ring, undoubtedly trying to maintain focus in preparation for one of the biggest matches of his career. It was also nice to see Styles – a huge hip-hop fan – come out to a hip-hop theme, specifically one that feels suited to both his character and his signature arm gesture.
This was arguably one of the company’s biggest pops of 2016, and set the tone for an already stellar WWE career.
