#1 AJ Styles
Since making his long-awaited WWE debut in the 2016 Royal Rumble Match, Styles has become the rightful face of the industry.
Barely two years in the company, he has already had memorable victories over the likes of Shane O'Mac, Cena and Owens. He brought out the best in Lesnar when they met at Survivor Series last year.

Styles is in his second reign as the WWE Champion. Also a two-time United States Champion, he has helped to elevate the standards of SmackDown Live making it a worthy competitor to the flagship show, Raw.
He is set to defend his WWE Title against Nakamura at WrestleMania 34, which is being considered as a 'dream' match between the two.
The Phenomenal One is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best in-ring performer in WWE right now by quite a margin.
Known for his prowess, thrilling aerial maneuvers, and supreme confidence, Styles is the smoothest and most exciting wrestler in the world, let alone WWE.
He is so good inside the squared circle that he has three finishers- Styles Clash, Calf Crusher, and the most rewindable move in all of wrestling, The Phenomenal Forearm.
