After all of the speculation, all of the wait and rumors....it was all finally over, in one single instant as AJ Styles cut the curtains and made his way to the ring, as the number three entrant in the 2016 WWE Royal Rumble.
As one could only imagine, the fans were in awe and going completely nuts. The one thing they said would never happen, the one free agent they said would never make the jump to the WWE, he was finally here and despite being eliminated by Kevin Owens, it didn't matter, because AJ Styles was finally a WWE Superstar and that alone was more than enough for that moment.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
