#1 AJ Styles
Come on, who else but AJ Styles was ever going to top this list? “The Phenomenal One” had one of the greatest breakthrough years of anybody in WWE history in 2016 and he followed that up with an equally sensational second year with the company in 2017.
The last 12 months have shown that Styles isn’t just the best in-ring talent in current-day WWE but, without a hint of exaggeration, he really is one of the greatest performers we’ve ever seen grace a WWE ring.
His match with John Cena at the Royal Rumble was an instant Match of the Year contender and the story of his battle with Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, despite hardly any pre-match build-up, was told to absolute perfection.
