10 Wrestlers Who Could Be The Next Big Thing In WWE

9. AJ Styles

Nicknamed €˜The Phenomenal One€™, there isn€™t much that Styles can€™t do. Beginning his career famous for his athleticism, the real life Allen Jones has gotten better and better over the years, experience tempering his high-flying antics with authentic mat savvy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUMRpc1_dyY Styles€™ problem always used to be character work: he was a lame duck on the mic and seemed bland when not being asked to kill it in the ring. That€™s criticism he took to heart a few years ago, developing into a personality as well as an athlete and improving on the stick. At 38 years old, he€™s probably too long in the tooth to start all over again€ but if WWE were to take advantage of his stellar reputation and shoehorn him straight into the roster under the name he€™s used for almost his entire career, he could easily fit right into matches with Ziggler, Orton€ anybody really, and he€™s got a fair few years left on his career yet. A TNA mainstay pretty much from the beginning of the organisation, wrestling fans have been salivating at the prospect of Styles in the WWE for over a decade. Now, with his association with TNA a memory, WWE seem finally to be coming around to the idea. Just make sure he skips NXT€ and loses the Styles Clash as a finisher.
