10 Kick-Ass WWE Moments We Can’t Wait To See

5. AJ Styles Winning The Royal Rumble

The organic, slow-building turn of AJ Styles from bitter heel to beloved babyface is one WWE should learn from when writing television for the likes of Roman Reigns.

Not pushed down the throats of fans, the world-class talents of Styles have won even the most casual of WWE viewers over. Those booming, 'let's go AJ' chants during his matches are evidence of this, and it's time to reward the man's hard work with another major win.

If he explodes as a babyface (and there's no reason to suggest he won't), then AJ could be a great choice to win the 2018 Royal Rumble next year. Seeing the former TNA man go on to headline WrestleMania 34 would be a real treat, and WWE know Styles wouldn't let them down in terms of in-ring quality.

A scant two years on from his debut at the 2016 Rumble, winning the 2018 version would further cement AJ Styles as a WWE headliner. Make it happen, decision-makers, because millions would love to see it, and there's even scope to mimic Shawn Michaels by having Styles go all the way from #1.
