#1 WWE Superstar AJ Styles recalls how helpful Chris Jericho was back in 2016

AJ Styles made his WWE debut in the 2016 Royal Rumble match. After an impressive performance, he was thrown out by Kevin Owens. Styles went on to engage in a storyline with WWE veteran Chris Jericho, but the duo's stint as a tag team didn't last long. Jericho turned on Styles on the road to WrestleMania and the two met on The Grandest Stage Of Them All. While speaking about Jericho, Styles had nothing but praise for him.

I love Chris. I can’t say enough good things about him. The dude is just awesome. My first WrestleMania was with Chris and he was all about helping me out. From the Royal Rumble when I debuted all the way to WrestleMania, he was always trying to help me out. Big thanks to Chris.

Styles went on to become a two-time WWE Champion and had feuds with the likes of The Undertaker, Roman Reigns, and John Cena. Styles is still signed with WWE and is a valuable asset for the company.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
