5 Things fans have likely forgotten about AJ Styles

#1 His rivalries with Samoa Joe work for one reason

Bound by a friendship that goes beyond promotion, Styles, and Joe will seemingly be connected forever.

Great enemies come from two men or women knowing each other all too well. Superman needs his Lex Luther and Batman needs The Joker. In the case of AJ Styles, his feuds and matches against Samoa Joe have been so effective in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Wrestling for a simple reason: trust. When two talents are so connected with one another, they can say or do anything to the other and the result is usually magic.

In the case of Joe and Styles, their rivalries have worked as well as they have because they are the best of friends. If you can't trust your best friend to work with you effectively, then who can you trust? Styles and Joe have worked so well with one another because regardless of what they may say and do to each other within the confines of the ring, their friendship goes well beyond the squared circle.
