James Ellsworth faced AJ Styles four times in his WWE career, and came out victorious in three of them. He won twice via pinfall, and even won the WWE Championship match.

Unfortunately, he could not get his hands on the title, as he won via disqualification. James Ellsworth then had another match against The Phenomenal One for the WWE Championship, but lost clean.

James Ellsworth says facing AJ Styles was a dream come true

James Ellsworth ranked his match with AJ Styles at one of the two best moments in his WWE run.

Ellsworth's run with the WWE ran from 2016 to 2018 and was filled with a number of memorable moments. This included his run with Carmella, Asuka, his Survivor Series moment, and many more. However, he holds the WWE Championship match and his WrestleMania moment with Carmella as his favorites.

"Then when I wrestled AJ for the WWE Title, just standing in the ring across from the greatest wrestler in the world in my humble opinion and watching the referee raised the world to WWE World title. And having the crowd chant your name. Ain't that the dream of that any kid? You're in the World Title match, the crowd is chanting your name and your fighting the best wrestler in the world in the main event and on TV. Those are my two moments, WrestleMania and that for sure."

James Ellsworth will never forget his match with the Phenomenal One, and he never lets fans forget it as well. Recently, he posted a tweet reminding fans that he beat Styles not once, but three times.
