5 Jobbers that went on to become WWE Champion

#1 AJ Styles

The face that runs the place

Current WWE Champion AJ Styles is one of the greatest wrestlers in the world today. He is a phenomenal athlete and has accomplished so much in his career outside of WWE. He has won multiple world championships around the world such as the TNA Heavyweight Championship, IWGP Heavyweight Championship, and WWE Championship.

Styles wrestled for WCW back in 2001. He was placed in a tag team known as Air Raid with another wrestler. The duo competed in WCW's Thunder where they briefly lost to other tag teams. They won their first and only match on Thunder before moving to Nitro.

They made their Nitro debut by competing in a tournament for the cruiserweight tag team championship but lost in the first round. When WCW was purchased by Vince McMahon, Styles made two appearances in WWE as a jobber where he lost his two dark matches.

Styles made his official debut at the Royal Rumble in 2016 and went on to the main event that year's Payback and Extreme Rules PPV. He is the current WWE Champion and is scheduled to defend his WWE Championship against Samoa Joe at SummerSlam
