I'll elaborate on my Matt Hardy choice.
Let's look at Matt compared to AJ, where were both of them a year ago? In late 2015, AJ was on top in NJPW, he was a fixture at ROH and was one of the main guys in the Bullet Club (the top stable outside of the WWE). On the other hand Matt Hardy was a semi-main eventer in TNA. He'd had some moderate success there in the tag division and realistically, the only reason he became Heavyweight Champion there was because Jeff was injured and a "Hardy" was gonna walk out of BFG with the title because they were in North Carolina.
So this year, yes AJ has had a ton of success. He made a huge debut at the Royal Rumble, had great feuds as a heel and face and is one of the main eventers in the largest promotion in the world.
On the other hand, NOBODY saw at the beginning of 2016, that Matt Hardy would be one of the most talked about wrestlers this year. He's completely reinvented himself, arguably surpassed his brother as the "better Hardy brother", and like I said, he's gotten more wrestling fans to talk about TNA, that they have in years. People chant DELETE on RAW and Smackdown, people are actually watching TNA
So I guess the argument would come down to, AJ was already a star and then became a top guy in the one place he hadn't been yet. On the other hand, Matt had always been "the other Hardy brother", and he is now one of the biggest wrestlers in professional wrestling today. I gotta give it to Matt
