#1.) The Elite 3 and 7
AJ Styles belongs to an elite seven and elite three. The Elite 7 record involves him being one of only seven non-Japanese wrestlers to hold the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
The elite 3 is a more unique one. Styles is only one of three wrestlers to hold both the NWA World Championship and the WWE World Championship. Who is he accompanied by? None other than the two Nature Boys – Buddy Rogers and Ric Flair.
It’s no surprise that Styles is part of such an elite group. As mentioned, everywhere he’s gone, he’s proven why he’s true world championship material and every company has put full trust in him and given the ball to run with. The cream always rises to the top, and Styles has proven it time and again. With these five accomplishments being only five of many, Styles will not only go down as arguably the greatest of this generation but one of the greatest of all time.
Is it any wonder that WWE constantly refers to Styles as the best in-ring performer of this generation and this generation’s Shawn Michaels?
