#3 AJ Styles
AJ Styles’ run on SmackDown Live has been a tad puzzling of late. After losing the WWE title to John Cena at Royal Rumble, instead of bouncing straight back into the main event picture, the Phenomenal One has been shunted around into middling feuds.
A man of AJ Styles’calibre, who can actually wrestle a match against a broomstick, shouldn’t have to suffer such lackadaisical bookings. He’s got the crowd’s backing and the ability to work magic with whomsoever he’s paired up – so much so that the WWE Universe would hardly even mind that he is inserted into the WWE title picture after losing to Kevin Owens in a US Title match.

Would his proposed long-term storyline against Kevin Owens get cut short? Yes, it would. But when you pluck Jinder Mahal from the obscurity of jobbing to mid card talent and put the WWE Title on him, anything can fly, right?
Besides, there is always Sami Zayn waiting in the wings, only too ready, willing and able to step in against his arch-nemesis Kevin Owens.
