5 reasons why AJ Styles should retain his title at Summerslam 2018

#2 AJ Styles surpassing CM Punk's title reign

WWE want to erase CM Punk's name off history books

WWE and CM Punk are definitely not on the best of terms since the latter's walkout in 2014. Four years have passed since CM Punk decided enough's enough and quit professional wrestling. His recent foray into MMA hasn't gone well either, but a return to his former sport doesn't look in sight.

CM Punk held the WWE Championship for over 400 days, to become the longest reigning WWE Champion in the Modern Era. Brock Lesnar surpassed Punk's reign albeit with the Universal Championship. WWE has tried to eliminate CM Punk from its programming in recent years and hence, AJ overtaking Punk's record in coming months shouldn't come as a surprise.
