Ever since debuting in WWE at the 2016 Royal Rumble, AJ Styles has had a truly phenomenal run (pun very much intended).
Entering the Rumble match at number 3, Styles had an incredible showing, and whilst he would not win, Styles was certainly the most talked about star after the show.
Since then, Styles would team and feud with Chris Jericho, before turning his efforts towards championship gold, being a former United States Champion, as well as two-time and current WWE Champion.
Last year, Styles faced Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, and despite an incredible showing by the former IMPACT star, the beast emerged the winner, flattening Styles with an F5.
This year at Survivor Series, Styles will once again face the Beast, with fans speculating on who will be victorious in the epic showdown.
Here are 3 reasons why AJ Styles should topple Brock Lesnar at this year's Survivor Series.
#3 Helps build towards a rematch in the future
Last year, Brock and Styles had an epic war, and despite their match going just 15-minutes, it was an entertaining bout.
With Lesnar winning, AJ has a golden chance this year to even the score, if he is somehow able to pin the Universal Champion, or maybe even make him tap to the Calf Crusher.
An AJ victory would make the score 1-1, which lends itself perfectly to a potential rubber match between the two in the future.
Whilst we don't know when or where that match would take place, given their last performance, it'd definitely be something that many in the WWE Universe would want to see.
Perhaps when Styles loses the WWE Championship, he could feud with Brock over the Universal championship, maybe even being the headline act at WrestleMania 35 in the MetLife Stadium, in April next year.
#2 Fan backlash to the Beast
When Roman Reigns forfeited the Universal Championship due to his Leukemia diagnosis, many expected that Braun Strowman's moment would finally come at Crown Jewel.
Instead, Corbin lost in a matter of minutes, after interference by Baron Corbin, with Lesnar becoming the first two-time Universal Championship.
This, obviously, led to a major backlash from fans, as many hoped to see the Monster Among Men win the gold, due to his incredible and natural face turn.
The WWE Universe have been very vocal on their opinion on Brock winning the red strap, as Lesnar's previous 504-day reign was heavily criticized for the Beast's sporadic appearances, leaving RAW without the main championship.
Having Styles win at Survivor Series could definitely help ease tensions between the WWE and its fans, as Vince McMahon would be able to show that he still wants the WWE Universe to remain loyal to the company.
#1 A loss doesn't hurt Brock
Despite his best efforts, Styles came up short at Survivor Series last year, getting caught in the F5 as he attempted the Phenomenal Forearm.
This year, a win could definitely help AJ, who has had a fantastic reign as WWE Champion, whilst a loss for Brock would barely register on his radar.
After Survivor Series this year, it's unlikely that Brock will be on RAW, or that we will see him at all, presumably until January's Royal Rumble.
When he returns, he'll still be the same a**-kicker he's always been, with his loss to Styles being nothing but a distant memory.
Styles' victory could take the Champ in so many different directions, and would definitely be a feather in the cap of a cocky heel who's able to beat him, knowing they beat the guy who beat the beast (looking at you Miz).
