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. [https://sportzwiki.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/128_SD_09252018dg_2728.jpg] During Raw’s post-show, AJ Styles [https://www.wwe.com/superstars/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. [https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2020/05/059_MITB_05102020EJ_03964--8b25fe836283411a5a16f58a9489fb59.jpg] 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. [https://www.postwrestling.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMG_5687.0.jpg] His legendary rivalry with Akira Tozawa comes straight out of a comic book as the two constantly plot against each other. A lot of good days await R-Truth as he continues spreading gold content. There truly is only one R-Truth. What do you make of his interaction with “The Phenomenal One?” Read: R-Truth Fights With Shark for His Title on WWE Raw [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-raw-akira-tozawa-r-truth-fights-with-shark-for-his-title-on-wwe-raw/]

With an array of skills, talents, and experience beyond his years, AJ Styles is inarguably one of WWE’s biggest assets. His performances have been lauded by WWE legends including The Undertaker himself.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Before finally making it to WWE, Styles had a long career as a professional wrestler through various promotions. Everyone already knew who AJ Styles was.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/20/a9/63/20a9632eee57a35967eb541b449fdb4b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h2>History<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h2>
<h3>Early Career<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h3>
At the young age of 21, Styles entered the world of professional wrestling. He wrestled for NWA-based promotions and less notable promotions with a masked gimmick.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9_s/public/video/thumb/2016/01/AJstyles_inferno_012716.png" alt="" width="640" height="360" data-noaft="1" />

However, natural talent saw Styles rise up the pecking order. His performances soon caught the eye of WCW, and the company even offered him a contract.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Styles appeared on one episode of Nitro, where he lost a tag team match in an ongoing tournament. He later appeared for a WWF tryout but was not offered a contract despite winning his match.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestleview.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/aj-styles-in-nwa-wildside.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="394" data-noaft="1" />

He was once more offered a choice to continue in WWF but had to relocate to a development territory in another state.

Due to the interference with his wife’s college schedule, Styles turned down the offer and continued wrestling on the independent scene.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>ROH<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h3>
Styles got a foothold in ROH by quickly rising to the top of approval ratings. He was used as the main card performer and had several championship shots.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.imgur.com/fzzlJr3.jpg" alt="" width="564" height="376" data-noaft="1" />

Styles competed across various formats, engaging in major singles feuds as well as Tag Team ones. Attracting a lot of eyeballs to the nascent promotion, Styles had a major showdown with a young CM Punk.

He managed to beat Punk twice, with the second match involving Ricky Steamboat as Guest Referee.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/aj-styles-cm-punk-8.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="500" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>TNA<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h3>
AJ Styles took his popularity to another level at TNA where he made ripples into waves. Quickly making his presence felt, Styles became the first X-Division Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/aj-styles-x-division-champion-1931392-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

Unlike other belts, it was the wrestler that made the belt known, and Styles elevated the status of the X Division Championship. He went on to conquer a series of belts during his time in TNA.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Phenomenal One’ found himself alongside WWE legends such as Kurt Angle, Booker T, Jeff Hardy, and Christian. He would also compete with future stars such as Samoa Joe.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestlerant.com/uploads/5/7/3/2/5732092/9217654_orig.jpg?342" alt="" width="750" height="500" data-noaft="1" />

While the former WWE stars like Jeff Hardy often took the driver's seat, Styles proved his mettle time and again by giving them wrestling of the highest quality.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

He even had a memorable Tag Team run with Kurt Angle and was widely praised for his work then. Styles was the face of TNA at one point and became the dominant Champion during all his reigns.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ajstyles-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

While Styles had a lot of forgettable moments like being the protege of Ric Flair, he was a star and a living legend in TNA. His work with former WWE Superstars got him a lot of attention from the fans and critics.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

AJ Styles had a number of appearances in Mexican and Japanese Wrestling promotions as part of TNA partnerships that further elevated his skills. The diversity of moves at his disposal increased.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/aj-styles-jeff-hardy-488-600x375.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="375" data-noaft="1" />

After nearly 12 years at TNA, Styles parted ways with the promotion. There were reports that negotiations had broken down early on. Styles later revealed that the new contract offer <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-they-wanted-me-to-take-less-money-aj-styles-reveals-why-he-parted-ways-with-tna/">involved</a> reducing his salary by 60%.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>Return to ROH, NJPW, and Independent Scene</h3>
Styles briefly returned to ROH for two years and began competing regularly. He also competed in the Independent scene during this time and worked every chance he got.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://d2isjg8ovcm7q0.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/roh_slider/public/aj1.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="691" data-noaft="1" />

Appearing across various promotions, Styles made it to Chikara, CZW, and Revolution Pro Wrestling. He took his services to England as well where he had a match against Lionheart.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Styles even went all the way to Japan to compete in the NJPW. There, he beat Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura respectively to become a two-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CkcWNz8I58k/Vx0vqmL3yoI/AAAAAAAAAU4/1UT5iw4iG7o78Hdt3GKz6dM82ija8TUVQCLcB/s1600/AJ-Styles-IWGP.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" data-noaft="1" />

At this point, ‘The Phenomenal One’ had developed top-level skills and different wrestling styles. In fact, he was being recognized as the best professional wrestler in the world.

He was beyond his time in experience and finally caught the eye of WWE who immediately sought his services.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>WWE</h3>
AJ Styles finally found himself in the biggest scene at WWE. Styles made an epic <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubZR-cfkSDQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debut</a> at Royal Rumble in 2016 which earned him one of the biggest crowd pops in WWE history.

The debut was named the best of the decade by WWE.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/2019/02/ajstyles--1dc3279de967216d4f52838f36f379aa.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Styles went on to be a major PPV contender and ignited a feud against Chris Jericho himself as his first major storyline. Styles went on to make an explosive first appearance at WrestleMania, where he faced off against Jericho.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Styles then set his sights on the gold. After defeating John Cena twice in two dream matches, Styles went on to challenge Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley) for his WWE World Championship. After a 140 day-reign, Styles lost the title to Cena, ending their feud.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/07/ena-styles.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=960&amp;quality=100" alt="" width="960" height="540" data-noaft="1" />

‘The New Face of WWE’ then went on to have a memorable feud against Shane McMahon that went on to WrestleMania 33 and a successive feud with Kevin Owens in which Styles ended up winning the United States Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>Year-long WWE Championship reign</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/zpQSX8OEpdW9rX_qrDZgqqRN4yc=/0x0:1200x675/1200x800/filters:focal(751x247:943x439)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/58020967/180_COC_12172017ej_4966__c9809ba566b8290d943700769ca176b0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" data-noaft="1" />

AJ Styles managed to win the WWE Championship once more by taking down Jinder Mahal. He then went on to the biggest challenge of his career in Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Phenomenal One’ gave fans the best showdown they had witnessed in recent years as he faced ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/4b/b8/004bb8a0f9571b51a9d938c0aa39a05b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" data-noaft="1" />

Despite being the visible underdog in the match, Styles did his best damage and surprised a lot of fans. Unfortunately, the relentless force in Lesnar overpowered Styles. The loss was actually a win, as AJ Styles was now known far and wide for his talent.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

The Superstar went on to hold the WWE Championship for over a year. He lost the title against Daniel Bryan on an episode of SmackDown, ending his reign at a massive 371 days.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Styles.png" alt="" width="920" height="615" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>Feud with The Undertaker</h3>
Styles found himself at a new height when he ignited a feud against The Undertaker himself. ‘The Deadman’ neared the end of his career, and Styles in his heel role was becoming the talk of the WWE Universe.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OX1OFJhJGa8/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

The two had a long feud that was supposed to end at Clash of Champions but went on to WrestleMania! AJ Styles fought ‘The Deadman’ in the first-ever Cinematic match and made his mark in WWE history.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Later, The Undertaker announced his retirement from WWE. This meant that AJ Styles is the last man to ever face ‘The Deadman’, a fitting end to a long and illustrious career. This is yet another badge on the brilliant run of Styles.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://fansided.com/files/2020/04/WM36_HM_28886.jpg" alt="" width="3871" height="2581" data-noaft="1" />

The Intercontinental Championship found Styles tussling with Sami Zayn and Jeff Hardy in a feud that would end up in Zayn’s favor. Styles was then drafted to Raw, the brand on which he performs today.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Styles led his team to victory at Survivor Series when Team Raw defeated Team SmackDown with ease. He roamed Raw with a humongous bodyguard called Omos, who kept the enemies away quite effectively.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">With his new partner Omos, AJ Styles started dominating the Raw tag division. The biggest prize for the duo came when they </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQrIqJH4uLk"><span style="font-weight: 400">won </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">the Raw Tag Team titles at </span><span style="font-weight: 400">WrestleMania 37. The duo kept the title around their waists for a total of 133 days, before dropping the titles to </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt9jPH7vVK8"><span style="font-weight: 400">Rk-Bro </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">at the SummerSlam PPV.</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.theilluminerdi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Aj-and-Omos.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Following that, Styles and Omos faced RK-Bro in a rematch at Crown Jewel and lost again. Omos and Styles broke up after Omos attacked Styles on the December 20 episode of Raw.

His work with former WWE Superstars got him a lot of attention from the fans and critics.  AJ Styles had a number of appearances in Mexican and Japanese Wrestling promotions as part of TNA partnerships that further elevated his skills. The diversity of moves at his disposal increased.  After nearly 12 years at TNA, Styles parted ways with the promotion. There were reports that negotiations had broken down early on. Styles later revealed that the new contract offer involved reducing his salary by 60%.  Return to ROH, NJPW, and Independent Scene Styles briefly returned to ROH for two years and began competing regularly. He also competed in the Independent scene during this time and worked every chance he got.  Appearing across various promotions, Styles made it to Chikara, CZW, and Revolution Pro Wrestling. He took his services to England as well where he had a match against Lionheart.  Styles even went all the way to Japan to compete in the NJPW. There, he beat Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura respectively to become a two-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.  At this point, ‘The Phenomenal One’ had developed top-level skills and different wrestling styles. In fact, he was being recognized as the best professional wrestler in the world. He was beyond his time in experience and finally caught the eye of WWE who immediately sought his services.  WWE AJ Styles finally found himself in the biggest scene at WWE. Styles made an epic debut at Royal Rumble in 2016 which earned him one of the biggest crowd pops in WWE history. The debut was named the best of the decade by WWE.  Styles went on to be a major PPV contender and ignited a feud against Chris Jericho himself as his first major storyline. Styles went on to make an explosive first appearance at WrestleMania, where he faced off against Jericho.  Styles then set his sights on the gold. After defeating John Cena twice in two dream matches, Styles went on to challenge Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley) for his WWE World Championship. After a 140 day-reign, Styles lost the title to Cena, ending their feud.  ‘The New Face of WWE’ then went on to have a memorable feud against Shane McMahon that went on to WrestleMania 33 and a successive feud with Kevin Owens in which Styles ended up winning the United States Championship.  Year-long WWE Championship reign AJ Styles managed to win the WWE Championship once more by taking down Jinder Mahal. He then went on to the biggest challenge of his career in Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.  ‘The Phenomenal One’ gave fans the best showdown they had witnessed in recent years as he faced ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar. Despite being the visible underdog in the match, Styles did his best damage and surprised a lot of fans. Unfortunately, the relentless force in Lesnar overpowered Styles. The loss was actually a win, as AJ Styles was now known far and wide for his talent.  The Superstar went on to hold the WWE Championship for over a year. He lost the title against Daniel Bryan on an episode of SmackDown, ending his reign at a massive 371 days. Feud with The Undertaker Styles found himself at a new height when he ignited a feud against The Undertaker himself. ‘The Deadman’ neared the end of his career, and Styles in his heel role was becoming the talk of the WWE Universe.  The two had a long feud that was supposed to end at Clash of Champions but went on to WrestleMania! AJ Styles fought ‘The Deadman’ in the first-ever Cinematic match and made his mark in WWE history.  Later, The Undertaker announced his retirement from WWE. This meant that AJ Styles is the last man to ever face ‘The Deadman’, a fitting end to a long and illustrious career. This is yet another badge on the brilliant run of Styles.  The Intercontinental Championship found Styles tussling with Sami Zayn and Jeff Hardy in a feud that would end up in Zayn’s favor. Styles was then drafted to Raw, the brand on which he performs today.  Styles led his team to victory at Survivor Series when Team Raw defeated Team SmackDown with ease. He roamed Raw with a humongous bodyguard called Omos, who kept the enemies away quite effectively.  With his new partner Omos, AJ Styles started dominating the Raw tag division. The biggest prize for the duo came when they won the Raw Tag Team titles at WrestleMania 37. The duo kept the title around their waists for a total of 133 days, before dropping the titles to Rk-Bro at the SummerSlam PPV.
