#6. Hope isn't true: Backstage concern over AJ Styles

This report undoubtedly took us by surprise, essentially given the position that AJ Styles is currently in. He was booked for a match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36, which is a marquee position on the card against one of the biggest draws in the history of the industry.

However, Tom Colohue reported that the late addition of Styles vs The Undertaker to WrestleMania 36 was surprising since there was an element where backstage officials were worried that AJ Styles was being 'forgotten about':

AJ Styles was someone who didn't really have anything going on RAW and was potentially being talked about being moved back to SmackDown. A couple of weeks later we started hearing about this match and really it's come out of nowhere. AJ Styles when he lost his US title in particular, they just didn't seem to be too much going on for him. I wouldn't say it's a waste for him in that regard because it at least gives him something to do.

We hope this isn't true because AJ Styles is a superstar who should never be forgotten about creatively as long as he's around. He's far too important regardless of which brand he's on.
