It seems like the 2016 WWE Draft was beneficial for several Superstars. AJ Styles was one of the company’s biggest signings of the decade when he joined WWE in 2016. He soon formed The Club with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.

During the 2016 WWE Draft, Styles moved to WWE SmackDown while Gallows and Anderson were drafted to WWE RAW. This allowed Styles to embark on a major solo run in the company.

Later, Styles defeated John Cena at SummerSlam2016 and challenged Dean Ambrose for his WWE Championship at Backlash. At the event, The Phenomenal One defeated Ambrose to win his first major title with WWE.

His reign as the WWE Champion lasted for 140 days before he lost the title to Cena. Styles is still one of the most influential and successful men in the company and he has been the most successful while performing on the SmackDown.
