If 2016 was the year of AJ Styles, then 2017 was no different. The Phenomenal One has proved without a shadow of a doubt that he is the best wrestler in the world right now.
After losing to John Cena in the Royal Rumble in what was a match of the year contender, Styles went on to feud with Shane McMahon which culminated in an excellent back and forth match at Wrestlemania 33.
Styles went on to have two reigns as the United States Champion and regained the WWE Championship. The fact that Styles was not booked to be squashed by Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series but was booked to look very strong even in defeat proves that WWE has high respect for the veteran.
His matches with Finn Balor and Brock Lesnar proved that he is indeed 'Phenomenal' and rightfully belongs in the top 5 rankings.
