5 Times Vince McMahon rejected ideas pitched by WWE Superstars

AJ Styles

When AJ Styles came to WWE in early 2016, many were worried as to how he would be treated on the main roster. Four years later, it's safe to say that Styles has been handled incredibly well by Vince McMahon and WWE. Back in 2016, Styles kicked off a feud with WWE legend John Cena and scored a huge victory over the 16-time World Champion at SummerSlam.

Styles occasionally plays videogames and chats with fans on Mixer. During one such session, when a fan asked Styles about getting a T-shirt with the words 'Beat Up Seth Rollins' slapped on it, The Phenomenal One explained why the idea would probably get rejected by Vince McMahon.

“Well, I’ll have you know that we wanted to have ‘Beat Up John Cena’ shirts while that was going on, but that was a no-go from the boss. He didn’t care for that too much so, I doubt he’ll get with the ‘Beat Up Rollins’ [shirts] so…"

Vince McMahon probably thought it would hurt Cena's brand if such a shirt was launched. Styles kept getting featured in major programs and recently feuded with The Undertaker on the road to WrestleMania, where he was buried alive by The Deadman in a Boneyard match.
