2017 WWE SummerSlam
The 'Phenomenal' AJ Styles

A 20 year veteran of the business, AJ Styles is considered by many the greatest performer of this generation.

An Indy darling, Styles won championships all year round before stepping into a WWE ring at the 2016 Royal Rumble, in a move that shocked millions around the world.

Styles has since won the WWE Championship once and the United States Championship twice, and has main evented multiple pay-per-views. This was unfathomable even five years ago when Styles had not performed in a WWE ring.

The fact he is currently a mainstay in the company speak volumes of the kind of impact the Georgia native has had ever since his arrival in the company about two and a half years ago.

Styles has been a revelation in the WWE, and is one of the best performers currently in the company. His accomplishments within his first year in the company was truly phenomenal.
