Styles challenged Gunther to a match on RAW which he would’ve won if not for the referee’s negligence. This led to Styles asking Gunther for a rematch which the Ring General granted him at the Royal Rumble with the stipulation that Styles’ career will be on the line. AJ suffered the same fate as John Cena and passed out to the former World Heavyweight Champion’s Sleeper Hold.

Following his retirement, fans wondered what role AJ Styles will have in the WWE. However, he had cleared up that he will be helping the company in scouting new talent. NXT’s Sean Legacy recently posted a picture with Styles following this week’s episode of NXT. Legacy’s post could have possibly confirmed that the Phenomenal One is now working in a backstage role at NXT.

“Last night was Phenomenal @WWENXT,” wrote Legacy.

There is still no official confirmation on AJ’s backstage role in NXT. However, it will be interesting to see the Ace and Undisputed Leader of the Bullet Club help in building WWE’s next generation of stars.

AJ Styles faced Shinsuke Nakamura before retiring from WWE

Ahead of his match with Gunther, Styles visited Friday Night SmackDown. The Phenomenal One has a deep connection with the blue brand as he was one of the show’s top faces from 2016-2018. He met Nick Aldis and former rival Shinsuke Nakamura there.

During his visit, Styles was confronted by Nakamura who challenged him to a match at the next Saturday Night’s Main Event show. AJ Styles accepted the challenge and the match exceeded all expectations and ended up becoming their best bout in the WWE.

Fans were very happy that they got to see AJ and Nakamura have a banger inside a WWE ring.
