Loser: AJ Styles
Trending
Not that we didn't see this coming, but it will nevertheless be odd to see AJ Styles not in the WWE title picture.
Will John Cena beat Ric Flair's record? A former WCW Champion thinks so HERE
Sure, AJ Styles only lost by a whisker in what was a great match, but a clean loss is still a clean loss. He has no room to claim another rematch at the moment.
That opens the exciting possibility that we'll see AJ Styles enter the Royal Rumble match for the first time since his WWE debut, and while he should always be considered a dark horse, he's not one of the clear-cut favorites to win the most exciting match on the WWE calendar.
We need to see where AJ Styles' fate and contract negotiations take him, but it will be out of the main event for a while, which is a scene he's dominated throughout the entirety of 2018. The NEW Daniel Bryan now reigns supreme.
