AJ Styles has been one of the biggest names in the wrestling business for a number of years, but only made his way to WWE back in 2016 when he made his debut at The Royal Rumble.

Styles has since won the World Championship and been part of some interesting storyline alongside The Club and Shinsuke Nakamura. Throughout his four years in WWE, it appears that The Phenomenal One has also gained the attention of The Great One.

Back in 2019 when AJ Styles got on the wrong side of Stone Cold Steve Austin on an episode of Monday Night RAW, The Rock responded to Steve Austin's Tweet regarding the Stone Cold Stunner.

Styles sold the move better than most men who have taken it before him and even added a backward roll after the move to make it look more powerful, which was something that The Rock praised on his Twitter account.

The Rock went on to state that the segment between Steve Austin and Styles brought down the house on RAW.
