AJ Styles has been on the top of his game since he has defeated Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship before Survivor Series last year. Not to mention, the matches that he had with Shinsuke Nakamura were absolutely classic.
There is no good reason for him to drop the Championship ahead of Summerslam. Hence, it is almost certain that he will walk out of Extreme Rules as the WWE Champion.
However, it is going to be an interesting bout as both these Superstars have a submission maneuver of their own. Fans would love to see how the “Phenomenal One” responds to the Accolade.
