5 Times WWE Hinted AJ Styles Is The Real Face Of WWE

#3 Pushing him to the main event against Roman Reigns

He was instantly pushed to the top

After receiving a spine-chilling reaction on his debut at the Royal Rumble, the WWE management changed their stance on the Phenomenal One and made him an instant hit.

The WWE Champion went on to deliver a stupendous Royal Rumble performance followed by an intriguing rivalry with Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 32.

While WrestleMania 32 is regarded as one of the worst WrestleMania's of all time, the Raw after WrestleMania ended on a highly promising note, when the Phenomenal One defeated Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, and Cesaro to become the No 1 contender for the WWE Championship.

Being provided with a push instantly in your debut WWE year justified how much trust the management has in Styles' and his versatility, as a performer.

The 41-year old went on to deliver some pretty interesting matches with the Big Dog before moving to John Cena, and eventually SmackDown Live.
