10 Wrestlers Who Could Be The Next Big Thing In WWE
9. AJ Styles
Nicknamed The Phenomenal One, there isnt much that Styles cant 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. Thats 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, hes 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 hes used for almost his entire career, he could easily fit right into matches with Ziggler, Orton anybody really, and hes 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.
