AJ Styles was a major name to be drafted to Monday Night Raw during the draft episode on Friday. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion made a shift from his home on the blue brand to the rough environment at Raw.

It seems that he didn’t quite get the best greeting to the roster. Even though he pulled off a triple threat victory over Jeff Hardy and a departing Seth Rollins, “The Phenomenal One” met his true match with R-Truth on Raw Talk.

During Raw’s post-show, AJ Styles and R-Truth both had a conversation with the show host, Charly Caruso. Here, Styles was asked about how he felt leaving SmackDown after years with the brand.

In his answer, Styles mentioned that he had built SmackDown and that the brand is what it is today because of his efforts. Puzzled by this statement, the 24/7 Champion had a big question to ask.

R-Truth interpreted the statement as- Styles literals built SmackDown. He went on to ask AJ if he also did condominiums and tiny houses! For the first time, “The Phenomenal One” was speechless.

He looked at R-Truth in disbelief and explain that his statement was a figure of speech and he only meant that he shaped SmackDown. Clarifying his original interpretation, Truth went on to tell Styles that he didn’t build the house of SmackDown then.

AJ Styles is not the first to face the antics of R-Truth

Unknowingly, the 24/7 Champion had just verbally checkmated Styles. An incensed Styles insisted on stopping the insane discussion and criticized Caruso for playing along with Truth.

R-Truth has never been the sharpest tool in the shed throughout his long career in WWE. We’re talking about the man who literally tried to climb a ladder to unhook the title in a Royal Rumble match.

Since his return and involvement in the 24/7 Championship scene, R-Truth has delivered the funniest segments in WWE. He has grown into the Charlie Chaplin of the company, with perfect comic-relief at every turn.
