5 Things we learned from AJ Styles' WWE 365 special

#3: Styles' match against Finn Balor at TLC 2017 made him proud to feel like a bankable star

Finn Balor & other backstage personnel were indebted to Styles after TLC 2017

Finn Balor & Bray Wyatt were supposed to go one-on-one against each other at TLC 2017. However, after Wyatt's unexpected injury leading up to TLC, WWE needed a last-minute replacement to make it still feel like a worthwhile match.

Meanwhile, Styles was stationed over in Peru, and when the call was made, AJ Styles finally made it to the arena after sitting in long-flights, completely jet-lagged.

However, both Styles & Balor wrestled each other in what turned out to be a critically praised match despite the unfortunate circumstances hindering this last-minute fixture.

Vince McMahon clearly looked proud in a backstage clip, and AJ revealed that he felt proud to be deemed as a bankable star in the company. Not only did AJ grasp this opportunity to live up to Vince McMahon's expectations, but he also proved several people wrong who thought that AJ was well-suited to be a mid-card wrestler.
