10 greatest WWE pops of 2017

#2 AJ Wins The Title

The WWE title reign of Jinder Mahal was one of the most bizarre stories of the year, and we aren’t just talking about in WWE. Hell, we aren’t even talking about just professional wrestling. For someone like Jinder to go from jobber to world champion in such a short space of time, we all knew there was more to the story.

But regardless of that, his eventual dethroning made it all worth it as AJ Styles managed to defeat The Modern Day Maharaja in order to capture the WWE Championship for the second time.

As The Phenomenal One himself admitted on Twitter, the reaction of the Manchester crowd made it seem as if Styles was one of their own.
