#2 Dropped out to pursue their dream - AJ Styles

The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles is considered by fans across the globe to be one of the best pro-wrestlers, not only in WWE but all over the world. Be it his in-ring abilities, or his amazing promo and character work, the guy was born to be a pro-wrestler!

AJ Styles (Real Name: Allen Neal Jones) graduated from Johnson High School in Gainesville, Georgia. He got into Anderson University on a wrestling scholarship but dropped out before finishing his degree and entered a professional wrestling school, as some of his friends were doing it.

As it turns out, it was a great decision, as the world of pro wrestling got a phenomenal Superstar!

AJ Styles in WWE

After making a name for himself all over the world, AJ Styles made his WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble, where he was a surprise entrant. Contrary to what many fans believed, WWE treated him like a proper star that he was, with him even going over WWE's poster boy, John Cena!

In his four-year-long WWE career, AJ Styles is a two-time WWE Champion and has also won both the United States and the Intercontinental Champion. He faced The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36 in a Boneyard match, which might be the last match of the Phenom's WWE career.
