Our main titleist, and his unusual appearance on SmackDown is covered above.
What this means for the show is up in the air, because it can go in one of two directions. One of the talking points from the interview was Styles seemingly much-delayed debut in the WWE.
He’s a two-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, one-time WWE Tag Team Champion, 2015 Royal Rumble victor and 2014 Superstar of the Year. He pulled the Calf Crusher to force Xavier Woods to tap out. Divas champ Charlotte looked to drive a wedge between them when she broke the news they’d be fighting each other for #1 contendership on the February 29 Raw.
Owens, in his second reign as an Intercontinental champion, has been on a roll the past few weeks, while Styles is coming off a significant victory over WWE mainstay Chris Jericho in their third confrontation at Fastlane.
– Bray Wyatt and his boys bounced back from their latest pay-per-view (PPV) defeat, but only because Ryback walked out on his titanic tag team partners.
AJ Styles has been in WWE for about a month now, and he’s already saying that he’s having the best time of his professional wrestling career since joining the worldwide leader in sports-entertainment.
R-Truth defeated Heath Slater, but only with some help from Goldust.
