#2. WWE Superstar AJ Styles

AJ Styles joined WWE in 2016 after spending nearly two decades competing in different promotions. The 44-year-old quickly became one of the company's top superstars.

Styles believes Shane McMahon should be the one to succeed his father in running WWE. Although he thinks Triple H is also an option, the 44-year-old explained why Shane is the better choice.

"Listen, if anybody can do it, it’s Shane McMahon. There’s also Triple H, but he’s got his hands full with NXT. If they did that, it’d be great for RAW. There’s so much that goes into it and you don’t really understand it until you’re there and going over everything. It’s a lot to take on. It’s tough. I love Shane. There’s nobody better. When he puts his heart and soul into something, he really gives it all. I’ve been in the ring with him, so I know," Styles said during one of his Twitch streams.

AJ Styles has shared the ring with both The Game and Shane. The Phenomenal One faced The King of Kings in a single tag team match at a live event in June 2019. Three years earlier, he had teamed up with Shane O'Mac in a Survivor Series Elimination Match.

Styles and Shane also went head-to-head at WrestleMania in 2017, where the former WWE Champion came out victorious.
