AJ Styles
AJ Styles is clearly not someone that followed the path of other superstars on this list. He did not have a lengthy stay in the WWE like others, but AJ did show up on WWE shows way back before he went to TNA and made a name. AJ was used during WWE’s so-called ‘B-Shows’ and he did wrestle some notable names back then. Afterward, AJ found his calling in TNA, and then in Ring of Honor and Japan.
More than a decade later, when AJ finally made his return to the WWE ring, he got the welcome that he deserved. AJ, who performed during shows that people barely watched, is now in the main event scene feuding with the top stars.
