#3. AJ Styles
He doesn't claim to be the best in the world because he doesn't need to. Time and time again the 39-year-old Styles continues to raise the quality of matches that he is a part of, regardless of whom he is in the ring with.
He began 2017 as the WWE champion and ended 2017 as the WWE champion. His year began with a match of the year candidate-- his championship match against John Cena at the Royal Rumble. In the process, he transitioned from being a heel to becoming the face, feuding with Shane McMahon, feuding with Kevin Owens, capturing the United States championship, losing the United States championship and regaining the WWE championship.

Styles is someone fans want to see and love to watch compete. He has elevated the likes of Jinder Mahal, turning their rivalry into one fans' wanted to see the end with the Phenomenal One as Champion. As 2018 has arrived, it is impossible to believe that Styles won't continue to have another phenomenal year.
