I'd argue yes but more towards him being as a bridge or transitional "Face of the WWE" type mega star. Sort of like what Daniel Bryan could have been for the Reigns era had Vince not been really stubborn and Bryan's body didn't also fall apart at the worst time possible.

Styles' age holds him back too much from having a lengthy Hogan/Cena-like reign as a top star while WWE's booking is the biggest obstacle for him having a potential shorter Austin-like top star reign.

He fits more as a HBK/Bret-like top star where he is the main guy for a couple years and at the same time, WWE is building the foundation for their next mega star era.
