3 wrestlers who are better than AJ Styles
AJ Styles blasted into the WWE when he made his debut in Royal Rumble 2016 to a huge pop. Apart from sheer excitement, this pop signified the amount of expectation that lay on his shoulders at that time. Fast forward two years and no one can deny that Styles has been the best in-ring performer in the WWE since the last few years.
People who claimed to be the best in the world to those who claimed to be the best there ever would be, many have come and gone. But, I don’t think they would be audacious enough to look Styles in the eyes and still claim what they claimed before.

Or could there be someone? I think so. Here is a list of three currently active wrestlers who can claim to be better than AJ Styles.

#3 Kenny Omega
Kenny Omega was a well know wrestler until the end of 2016. But, his match with Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 11 made him a household name. Since then, Omega has not looked back. His trilogy of matches with Kazuchika Okada is now being acclaimed as the greatest ever in the world of pro wrestling.
But what really makes Omega so great?
When we come to think of it, he is in many ways similar and at par with AJ Styles when it comes to pure in-ring work. Both are solid grapplers who are always ready to fly high. Both have unique finishers which always guarantee a pop from the crowd and both are trusted main-eventers who have the stamina to go well beyond the 30-minute mark in big matches.
What really takes Omega a notch above is his superior charisma which is evident by the fact that no one can elicit a louder pop than Kenny Omega. If he can be so over among the Japanese fans, imagine the amount of noise he could generate inside a WWE arena. Add to that, his prowess on the mic and there you have a pro-wrestler who can give "The Phenomenal One" a run for his money.
