#8 AJ Styles
Trending
Though the WWE title felt more important after he finally dropped it to Daniel Bryan, it isn't hard to see why AJ Styles kept it for so long. He was a reliable hand who could always be counted on to deliver something good, even if this year didn't quite live up to his high standards until the closing stretch.

Nothing that AJ Styles did could quite be categorized as bad. The feud with Shinsuke Nakamura was a huge disappointment, but that came in large part because it didn't live up to the high standards we had in our heads for it. It was solid, if unspectacular.
Which is saying much more than WWE's overall performance for most of this year, especially in the months between WrestleMania and SummerSlam. That alone is worth pointing out when we talk about Styles' track record as a performer.
Of course, Styles would go on to pick things up with Samoa Joe and now, with Daniel Bryan, both of which turned out very well.
