"I’m really excited to get Dean Ambrose and I’m really excited to get AJ Styles.”
"So, I’ve known AJ Styles for a long, long time. We wrestled each other for the first time, I think, in 2003, so yeah, 13 years ago, so it’s neat to see him on this stage.”
Bryan and Styles go way back, having first wrestled each other back in 2003, which was 13 years ago, so Bryan and AJ have a close friendship behind the scenes as well.
