5 WWE wrestlers who would be great challengers for AJ Styles' WWE Championship

AJ Styles has been in the WWE for more than 2 years now, and he is a major player as well as a great attraction for the blue brand. He has performed in all the major promotions worldwide, and his promos are the ones that bring chills.

While all of this is true, Styles is also a WWE Champion, and he keeps getting challenged for his title at every pay-per-view. Unlike Brock Lesnar he shows up at every pay-per-view and weekly show because he loves entertaining his fans every day, any day.

His match with Rusev at Extreme Rules had great performance put in by both the superstars. Styles majorly carried the match on his own shoulders and put forth a breathtaking performance.

The WWE Universe was ecstatic at the physicality and agility in the match. Styles' Pele Kick and Rusev's Crush were some of the amazing moves, but despite all said and done, Rusev was unable to dethrone 'The Phenomenal One' at his own game.

With Extreme Rules behind us and SummerSlam around the corner, let us take a look at 5 superstars that would put forth a great match-up (I am not taking just SummerSlam into consideration).

#5 Andrade 'Cien' Almas

The Third Generation Luchador

Andrade 'Cien' Almas had a great run in NXT, and his SmackDown Live debut was also a great one. He has performed well, and that is what got him an opportunity to move to the main roster.

He isn't involved in some great feuds right now, but if he gets into the WWE Championship storyline, it would be a great idea.

With Zelina Vega by his side, it would be a great recipe for compelling television, because Vega cuts amazing heel promos, while Styles could cut great babyface promos.

The duo would be exchanging some great words, and it would leave the WWE Universe wanting for something more every week.

#4 Adam Cole

Great storyline, Bay-Bay!

Adam Cole is a worldwide sensation, and his debut on the yellow brand was nothing short of greatness. He along with Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly attacked Drew McIntyre, and it made way for some compelling television on Wednesday.

With so many superstars already moving up the roster, and many more planned in the coming months, it wouldn't be surprising if we see Adam Cold on the blue brand sometime soon.

His feuds and matches with the likes of Nakamura and majorly Styles will be jaw-dropping, and you can agree to that.

#3 Eric Young

Serious competition for the WWE Champion

Eric Young is a veteran in the field of professional wrestling, and he has teamed up as well as feuded with the WWE Champion during their time in TNA (Impact Wrestling).

Eric was impressive in NXT and is even more impressive on the blue brand with his tag team - 'Sanity'. He is featured regularly on WWE programming, and it wouldn't surprise anyone if he moves out of Sanity in his quest for the WWE Championship.

When or how this will become a reality is for another day, but this feud will be all money.

#2 Big E

This match rocks (claps)!

Big E is currently part of the faction called 'New Day,' and both the faction and his work is applauded by the fans and WWE officials equally.

He is the powerhouse of this group, but what if he leaves the group in his quest for the WWE Championship. While just like everyone else, I wouldn't want to see him leave the group, but if he fits into the storyline and is able to give us more entertainment, then it is all worth it.

When Big E power fights AJ Styles' agility, it would be a great match, but don't count our final contender out.

#1 Velveteen Dream

A 5 star match provider

Velveteen Dream gave us a 5-star match with Aleister Black, and this rating came from one of the biggest wrestling journalists, Dave Meltzer himself.

When a wrestler is performing so well at such a young age on the yellow brand, you can only imagine what he would do when he moves to the main roster.

A feud between Styles' agility and Velveteen's work in the ring will be a 'best for business' decision.
