The WWE champion is simply phenomenal.

Current WWE Champion AJ Styles made his name known while in TNA Wrestling, now known as Impact Wrestling, from 2002–2013 well before he signed with the sports entertainment company.

While in the promotion, Styles held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship three times and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship twice. Also, he was the first holder of the X Division Championship, a title he held six times.

Styles was the first professional wrestler ever to complete the TNA Triple Crown (five times) and the TNA Grand Slam (two times). Styles accomplishments continued from there.

He appeared in Ring of Honor (ROH) from 2002–2006 where he became the first ROH Pure Champion.

In 2014, Styles signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and won his first of two IWGP Heavyweight Championships in his debut match with the company.

Styles first appeared on WWE television in 2002 but turned down a developmental contract he was offered by the company.

He signed a multi-year contract with WWE fourteen years later in January 2016 and made his re-debut at that month's Royal Rumble.

After appearing at his first WrestleMania that April against Chris Jericho, Styles headlined multiple pay-per-view events and won winning WWE Championship at Backlash in September.

He held the title up until 2017's edition of the Royal Rumble in January. Styles has also won the United States Championship twice. He then won the WWE Title in late 2017.

As seen on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live in Phoenix, AZ at the Talking Stick Resort Arena on the USA Network, AJ Styles defeated Baron Corbin in the main event of the show. This was a non-title match.

As seen in the video here (click the link if the video doesn’t play below), Styles had a great sequence during the match.

Corbin has been slowly but surely pushed to the moon while under contract with WWE.

Corbin, who is a former offensive lineman for the National Football League's Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals as well as a three-time Golden Gloves champion and former grappling champion, signed with WWE in 2012. He was placed in NXT.

Corbin is also the winner of the third annual André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32.

In July of 2017, Corbin won the Money in the Bank match for a WWE Championship opportunity and became the third wrestler to fail to win his cash-in match.
