WWE's 2017 All-Stars: Top 7 Superstars of the year

#1 AJ Styles

Enter — What a PHENOMENAL year for AJ Styles!

They said it would never happen. The thought of AJ Styles jumping to the dark-side was something that many thought would always be a "what-if" story where fans contemplated the thought of what life in the WWE would've been like had Styles ever signed with the company. Thankfully for us, the WWE Universe, that very dream actually became a reality in January of 2016 when AJ made his WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble.

Since arriving, AJ Styles has been going full-speed ahead, running through any Superstar who dares to try him.

As WWE Champion, AJ Styles has set a new standard by which future champions should go by. AJ is currently enjoying his second title reign and it seems as if he gets better with every passing title defence.

We can only imagine what the future holds for AJ Styles and even though he is now 40 years young, Styles still has enough fuel in the tank to carry him for years to come and WWE fans should be over-the-top grateful to have him.
