Revealing himself as the new gaijin ace of the Bullet Club upon Prince Devitt's WWE departure in 2014, AJ Styles has used his first significant platform since leaving Impact Wrestling to show himself to be a more complete package as a wrestler than he's likely ever been at any other point in his career. AJ's held the IWGP Championship, plus come back across the pond to routinely be a headliner for Ring of Honor, too. From having excellent matches with the likes of Kazuchika Okada, Jay Lethal and more, he's definitely the most enormous of fish in the smallest of ponds. Could AJ be a WWE superstar? Quite likely. Could he also help sell out the Tokyo Dome? Yeah. AJ Styles is a superstar with an enviable group of first-world problems to consider.
