The pro-wrestling industry is nothing without its fans. They come to see their favorite wrestlers giving it all that they have. The WWE Universe, as the fans are fondly referred to, loves to chant for their favorite Superstars. Once the WWE Universe decides that they love a wrestler, they immortalise them with their special crowd chants and interactions. Chants like "What?!", "Woo", and "YES!" are clearly indicative of the wrestlers they are associated with.
The charisma and aura of the wrestlers often rub off with the fans, and they choose to believe in them and their abilities. With that being said, here are five wrestlers who are absolutely loved by the fans.
Honorable Mentions: Tye Dillinger, Rusev, and Shinsuke Nakamura
#5 Johnny Gargano
Johnny Gargano might just be the most over wrestler in WWE today. He has been the face of NXT for over a year and enjoys unparalleled fan support. He fits in perfectly as the underdog babyface that WWE seems to be running out of. Apart from his amazing in-ring skills, he is charismatic and is able to appeal to the primary emotions of the fans.
WWE may have found a perfect replacement for Daniel Bryan in Gargano. His main-roster callup is expected after WrestleMania 34 and if his time in NXT is any indication, his future in WWE is remarkably bright.
Johnny Gargano might not be the strongest wrestler on the roster, but the Rebelheart is sure to bring his A-game every single time he steps into the ring.
#4 The New Day
The New Day has been one of the most popular stables in recent times. All three wrestlers have amazing in-ring skills, and their double team moves are beautifully synchronized. Being 4-time tag team champions, the New Day always put on great matches much to the delight of the WWE Universe.
The trio debuted as heels, being greeted with chants of "New Day Sucks". Gradually, they were able to get over with the fans, and "Sucks" quickly changed to "Rocks". The New Day is one of those tag teams that get cheered both as heels and babyfaces. WWE has managed to capitalise on the opportunity and The New Day merchandise sales have sky-rocketed.
With WrestleMania 34 less than a month away, The New Day have set their eyes on the SmackDown Live Tag-team Championship. This is a big deal as the team is yet to score a victory at the Showcase of the Immortals.
#3 Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins became the most hated heel in WWE when he betrayed The Shield and joined The Authority. But a knee injury, which kept him out for months, brought a fresh chapter in his career, turning him into a babyface. Rollins then went on to beat Triple H at WrestleMania 33. Rollins has become the top babyface of the Raw roster after defeating both Roman Reigns and John Cena in a single night, earning the moniker 'Monday Night Rollins'.
Rollins is highly appreciated and adored by the fans. He has the ability to connect with the crowd, and his passion for wrestling can be seen through his promos. He is the complete package to be the next top guy in the WWE. He has a fast-paced and high-flying in-ring style that has traditionally always been a better fit for the good guy role.
The Architect now only needs to win the Intercontinental Championship to complete his Grand Slam. With him being in the triple-threat match for the title at WrestleMania 34, the WWE Universe would love to root for The Man as he looks to create history at the 'show of shows'.
#2 Finn Balor
Finn Balor was the face of NXT for around two years, having won the NXT Championship once. He became the first ever Universal Champion but had to relinquish it only a day later due to a shoulder injury. His recent run has been a roller-coaster ride, but WWE might have finally found a path for The Demon (King).
Balor is one of the most talented performers on the roster, and the crowd loves to cheer for him. Believed to be the next big thing in WWE, the crowd exploded when he made his return on the Raw after WrestleMania 33. The Demon persona is perhaps the most loved character in all of WWE. Being a fan favorite, he has one of the brightest futures in WWE.
Come WrestleMania 34, Balor is scheduled for a triple-threat match for the Intercontinental Championship against The Miz and Seth Rollins. His demon avatar at the 'grandest stage of them' all will be a treat to the WWE Universe.
#1 AJ Styles
Ever since making his debut in WWE, AJ Styles has been a fan favourite. Even his heel persona couldn't convince fans to boo him. Styles extracts the best out of all his opponents and respects them. Probably the best wrestler in the world right now, Styles has found mainstream success in WWE as the face of SmackDown Live.
Whether heel or a babyface, Styles can pull off both personas with equal ease. The Phenomenal One is loved by fans all over the world, and his merchandise sales are an indication of the same.
With his WrestleMania 34 dream match set against another fan favorite, Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles is sure to have WWE Universe rallying behind him.
