AJ Styles won the match, but the two have had a bunch of wins over each other so far in WWE. It isn't clear why Styles targeted Orton out of the blue, as The Viper is already involved in a high-profile feud. It seems like Orton will have a short-lived feud with Styles on the road to WrestleMania 37, where he will finally meet The Fiend again.

AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton is a match that has the potential to be a show-stealer. What are your thoughts on Styles calling Orton "weak?" Sound off in the comment section.
