AJ Styles is definitely one.

Cedric Alexander On Which SmackDown Star Influenced His Style, Wanting To Wrestle Dolph Ziggler - WrestlingInc.com

"I modelled myself heavily after AJ Styles. I'm a huge AJ mark, so a lot of the things he does and the way he does them are very different as far as the fluidity and just his general athleticism. I try to do a lot of his stuff, basically. I steal a lot of his moves. And everyone tells me, 'man, what you do, it looks so cool' or whatever. It's just, I copy this guy or whatever, put a little twist on it, and then, okay, now it's mine. That's as far as I think it through, but one guy told me, 'you know the difference between you and AJ Styles? I believe you a lot more because of the emotion.' I was like, 'I guess.' Like, I'm trying to think. I'm just athletic and I can do things. I just try to get everyone to believe what I'm doing."

CM Punk and Daniel Bryan will probably be names mentioned in the next few years by up and coming wrestlers.
