Styles Clash
It may look like the belly-to-back inverted mat slam appropriated by AJ Styles cannot be reversed once it is in motion, but that is not altogether impossible.
On Sunday, June 12, 2016, in a WWE house show, Seth Rollins had kicked out of Styles’s set up and countered the move into a pedigree. Besides, AJ’s histrionics, which are uncannily similar to Razor Ramon’s, provide ample space for the opponent to initiate a counter. In fact, most reversals to the move occur during this time window when Styles lifts his hands laterally in a show of flamboyance.
AJ Styles is a veteran in the pro wrestling world. One of the most popular and experienced men outside of the WWE, his debut at the Royal Rumble had resulted in perhaps the loudest pop of that evening. Needless to say, for a move that has practically become a part of the Styles persona, a reversal is not the way to go particularly in matches where his talent far outshines that of the rest of the ring. By that I mean, almost every single time.
