WWE's TNA World Champions Ranked - From Worst To Best

2. AJ Styles

It is the biggest cliché to use when talking about AJ Styles, but the man truly is phenomenal. He seems to get better with age, and at the ripe old age of 39, the current WWE World Champion can truly lay claim to being the best in the world. His year in WWE to-date has been incredible (to say the least), and there is a whole lot more to come over the next couple one feels.

Did TNA drop the ball with AJ Styles? It is difficult to say. On one hand you could say they did, keeping him stuck in roles he wasn't accustomed for when he should have been front and centre of the company. The issue is, however, that AJ Styles in 2016 is a totally different beast to AJ Styles in 2010, and whilst it is easy too assume TNA would still have gone with AJ and illegitimate pregnancies that would still be speculating.

AJ Styles is the great TNA success story, although it took him leaving for the story to kick into overdrive. He was the biggest star the company created, and a decade of working in a prominent position with both uber-talented and past-their-prime workers has made him the wrestling genius he is to date.

AJ had five world title runs in TNA, three with the NWA strap and two with the TNA incarnation. The final one came in 2013, not long before he left the company for pastures new.
