When AJ Styles debuted at the 2016 Royal Rumble, fans experienced a mixture of jubilation and fear upon seeing his debut. They were ecstatic to finally see The Phenomenal One step foot in a WWE ring, but at the same time, there were concerns that he wouldn’t be booked in a way that would do justice to his many years of great work in the industry.

Thankfully, those fears were put to rest when just a few months later, a heel Styles defeated Dean Ambrose to become WWE Champion. It was a sight that we all never thought we’d see, but once it finally happened, the belt looked like it was right where it belonged – around the waist of a legend. Bravo, AJ.
