The phenomenal first year of AJ Styles, by the numbers
At Royal Rumble 2016, AJ Styles made his stunning — some would say phenomenal — WWE debut in the 30-Superstar over-the-top-rope melee.

As AJ Styles soars into Year Two of his WWE tenure, take a look back at one of the greatest WWE rookie years in history through the numbers that defined it.
