Alright, so today I wanted to dig into something that’s been on my mind for a while: AJ Styles’ WrestleMania record. You know, I’m a huge wrestling fan, and AJ Styles is one of those guys you just can’t help but root for. He’s phenomenal, right? But his WrestleMania appearances… well, they’ve been a bit of a mixed bag. So, I decided to really break it down and see what’s what.
First, I grabbed a notebook and pen – yeah, I’m old school like that – and started listing out all of AJ’s WrestleMania matches. I fired up the good old internet to double-check some dates and opponents. I even watched the matches again.
- WrestleMania 32, he faced Chris Jericho. Lost that one.
- WrestleMania 33, took on Shane McMahon. That was a win.
- WrestleMania 34, defended his WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. Another win.
- WrestleMania 35, went up against Randy Orton. Lost that one, too.
- WrestleMania 36, the infamous Boneyard match with The Undertaker. We all know how that ended. Another loss.
- WrestleMania 37, teamed up with Omos to win the Raw Tag Team titles. So that’s a win.
- WrestleMania 38 faced Edge. That’s a loss.
- WrestleMania 39 faced Rollins. That’s another loss.
After jotting all that down, I started doing some simple math. Out of eight WrestleMania appearances, AJ has won three and lost five. That’s not exactly the stellar record you’d expect from a guy of his caliber, is it?
I spent a good chunk of the afternoon just pondering this. What is it about WrestleMania and AJ Styles? Is it just bad luck? Is it the pressure of the grandest stage of them all? Or maybe it’s just the way the storylines played out. Whatever the reason, it’s definitely something to think about.
So, that’s my deep dive into AJ Styles’ WrestleMania record. It wasn’t some groundbreaking research project or anything, just a fan trying to make sense of things. Hope you guys found it interesting! And hey, maybe next year, AJ will finally turn that WrestleMania luck around.
