#3 AJ Styles
The Phenomenal AJ Styles has been on fire ever since arriving in WWE just over a year ago. The former TNA Champion has shot up the ladder so quickly that he finds himself going into the Royal Rumble as WWE Champion.
That's quite a step up considering that he lost his first ever Mania match to Chris Jericho back in April, and his momentum looks set to continue heading into Orlando.
You can build this up quite easily with Taker winning the Rumble and AJ retaining against Cena, allowing for the two men to square off on the following edition of SmackDown Live to start the build to the match.
Obviously, Styles would have to retain inside of the Elimination Chamber first, and it'd be interesting to see people's reactions to that.
Onto a man who seems all set to finally return from injury.
