#1 AJ Styles

I didn't realise until just last month that CM Punk and AJ Styles had their fair share of matches over the ROH Pure Championship many years ago. However, the fact that I never knew about those bouts goes to show how underrated they are, especially considering the elite levels both men would ascend to in the following years.
While Punk was riding high in WWE as the company's champion in 2011, Styles was having Match of the Year candidates with members of the TNA roster. Punk and Styles were considered the best wrestlers in their respective companies for a very long time with fans salivating at the mere thought of them squaring off.
Of course, once Styles finally arrived in WWE at the onset of 2016, Punk was long gone from the company, but it was one of those “what if” situations. Even if Punk had a little ring rust on him in his years away from wrestling, there is zero question he and Styles could have a fantastic match based on how The Phenomenal One has yet to have anything less than an outstanding outing in WWE.
