we all know his best feud and match was with Cena

[@johnnyjacksonson457]

Eh, to each their own. I thought his Cena match was good but I enjoyed the Reigns one more.

[@yachtysworld]

The List Who's Roman Reigns?

[@kierenbuckley370]

The List agree his feud with Cena was good stuff

[@D00mv1]

Cypher Valorius Shut up you dumbfuck

[@PlasmaFeulled316]

Nah with Reigns. Cena's matches were finisher fests. The same shit you guys complained about when Rock and Cena fought for the 2nd time. Bit hypocritical.

[@sweet7864]

AJ is so humble.. I think he's already in the Vince McMahon favorite superstars list

[@rawrjay420]

Sweet vince mcmahon likes small sweaty styles

[@red-hairedturk5170]

Yeah, Vince said he wished he signed AJ years ago. That's high praise, he had amazing matches with his golden boys and made them look amazing. Plus he sells merch and gets huge pops. Vince probably loves him.

[@ISetYourFaceOnFire]

i think vince likes styles so much that i think aj might get that mania main event in a year or to. if vince didn't think highly of aj he wouldnt have pinned cena clean twice, or won the world title and have a long reign with it. or be entrusted to have a match vinces own son at mania , or be positioned as the face of smackdown or they wouldnt have jbl constantly caressing ajs balls by constantly saying ''aj is the greatest of this generation, greatest first year in wwe history'' etc. he is now what rollins was supposed to be. their shawn michaels. and i think hes surpassed even hbk atleast in the ring. promos hbk is still better.

[@rawrjay420]

ISetYourFaceOnFire vince mcmahon likes small sweaty style balls

[@Excalibur2112]

Sweet That's why he's one of the best man. He's like the Kurt Angle of today.

[@rugalthreesixteen6812]

Feuded with Jericho was the introduction.. Feud with Roman opened a lot of Casual's eyes on how good he is, Feud with Cena Solidified him as a Top Guy, and Feud with Ambrose was his cherry on top

[@BlackWind90]

Best wrestler in the world right now. Seriously amazing how no matter where he goes, no matter what style of wrestling is there, what mentality is there, he always adapts snd outshines everybody.

[@clydehardy3006]

Best wrestler in America

[@trevorsplash3474]

Aj is so well spoken.

[@bchstr]

We have 2 years left of AJ Styles as a wrestler... Let's not waste it now, and enjoy him while he's here

[@ajitsrivastva3342]

Jaq hopefully he can wrestle 5 more years like Jericho though he wants to retire at 42 ..........

[@jordan12118]

Whenever he matches up with Seth Rollins will be his best match

[@zackrakesh6151]

Yep. Its called affinity. Seth vs Aj could easily be better then AJ vs Nakamura at Kingdom, AJ vs Joe, AJ vs Sami Zayn, AJ vs Balor etc (although the last one has so much story line its ridiculous)

[@idonthavethat]

Jordan Davis and shinsuke or Finn balor

[@M.Sleeze]

To Dare is to Do #THFC #COYS Exactly, hes 40 but still a beast as one of the best workers in the ring right now not just wwe

[@ISetYourFaceOnFire]

seths matches as of late havent been that great. hes slower, not as smooth and just not as good imo. the time for aj v rollins was before rollins knee tore.

[@seifuddinassabur6934]

Jordan Davis Nakamura or Owens will be his best match

[@M.Sleeze]

His matchs and feuds are always great and aj showed that can do anything with anyone in many diffrent companies and countries with diffrent wrestlling styles and he showed shane and roman and cena, dean are very good wrestlers + for younger and kinda rookies i think his feuds/matches with dean and roman even ellsworth were their dream matches becuz of aj

[@WarriorPride65]

Who would've thought that Styles vs Shane would become the greatest match in the Wrestlemania 33 card? NEVER count out AJ Styles's talent and Shane McMahon's work ethic.

[@kennethreed8491]

Why can't you just upload the entire interview instead of these 1-2 minutes clips?

[@MARKOUTTV]

Jinder You cant Hinder Mahal $$$

[@zackrakesh6151]

KZbin promotes channels with more daily activity. youtube think "oh this channel is doing daily content, lets promote them". This method has no drawbacks because it wont sacrifice any watch time since they are showing the whole video is seperate parts.

[@kennethreed8491]

Sophie Matthews Yeah, that makes sense. As long as I get to see AJ.

[@Grizzexploder]

millllkkkkk

[@GamingR2004]

maybe cuz of money. But I think it's to oragnize the answers.

[@habibihassan]

I just love how experienced he is in the Industry, this dude knows all his fucking shit and cuz of that is possibly the greatest performer in the industry today.

[@_EST1994]

I loved that royal rumble match they had. It was definitely my favourite out of their feud. He wasn't lying after that last statement either cause his and Shane's match was actually pretty good. I was surprised how good it turned out.

[@jenskrause6968]

you will have your best feud with kenny omega in 2018 ;)

[@Figs3]

Jens Krause as much as I LOVE Kenny Omega. They already have enough leaders of Bullet Club. Lol

[@jenskrause6968]

Figs3 i just hope that he will join wwe in 2018 he is my favoriet wrestler :)

[@MARKOUTTV]

Jens Krause no thanks

[@sweet7864]

if Omega loses to Okada one more time, I think he's signing with NXT

[@caiograciano7562]

+Sweet Yeah, but I'm pretty sure NJPW will pull that trigger this time. It would be a dumb business decision not to.

[@debojyoti1111]

positivity is just awesome of AJ styles

[@IanIsrael]

A.J. Styles IS the Phenomenal One..Period!

[@countrylife04]

one of the GOATs

[@jordanfrost25]

gimelex04 *THE* GOAT

[@countrylife04]

yeah i know, but we should also respect the likes of HBK, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, The Rock, Kurt Angle, Hogan, Flair, Sting, Taker and other GOATs

[@emonrahman6908]

another daily dose of aj im loving it . keep em comming one one of if not my all time fav. now vince give us Aj vs shinskae

[@phenomenalone2367]

Chris Jericho to Roman Reigns to John Cena to Dean Ambrose to James Ellsworth to John Cena to Shane McMahon to Kevin Owens to TBA

[@HarmotiixHarmotiix]

That Shane vs AJ match was one of the best matches proved everyone wrong and I think the people who didn't want it were glad to be proven wrong. The match you always want (AJ vs Nakamura or Cena at WM) isn't the match you always need.

[@christophernavarrete8707]

AJ es fenomenalmente humilde

[@reygalvan6175]

Aj styles is bad ass i love how humble he is thats how everybody needs to be instead being selfish

[@GAMERVERSE-h5t]

If he retires...then it will be saddest day of my life...because he is my favorite of all time

[@Chilax]

come on this guy is to amazing he made Ellsworth worth watching.

[@Hypagemie]

Yes AJ loves Roman :D also one of my fav feuds!

[@vashstarwind36]

Dannnnng. .... Heck Yeah. A.J. Styles is the MAN!!

[@jordanbobbo2896]

TBH, I enjoyed the Ambrose feud a lot. All of his feuds have been good let's be real here...

[@mayankgupta6213]

Eagerly waiting for Him and Nakamura go one on one

[@vinny9256]

0:57 A slip-up or foreshadowing

[@asavvy47]

aj styles should have a fued with everyone!

[@gleenfales]

Hell fucking yeah Roman can get it on. Thank yoouuuuu

[@danielkelly8775]

aj was the best long before he ever got to the wwe. fact.

[@Excalibur2112]

Absolutely, he was the reason I even watched TNA during the early to mid 2000s, and even after Hogan and Bischoff stepped in.

[@TheAmpharosFreak]

I agree with him. I personally liked his cena feud the best, but without him making roman look amazing lol, Vince wouldn't have pushed aj. AJ proved to Vince he could go by having good matches with roman.

[@seifuddinassabur6934]

of course he is going to win another championship. He is about to win the U.S. title at summerslam.

[@kingtjgotgames5903]

Which one better royal Rumble or SummerSlam 2016

[@shinsukenakamura1288]

Hoesntly I feel the matches with Cena was one of the best matches I have ever seen. I prefer the Styles/Cena feud than the Reigns/Styles feud. Of course it's my opinion that the Cena/Styles were better.

[@seraphzhen-zhen7591]

Comments in this thread: "No, Roman wasn't your best feud, Cena was"

[@jamesbilal9969]

Loll that burns when everyone admits Roman is best in WWE.

[@ajitsrivastva3342]

Seraph Zhen-Zhen he said everyon3 was equally important , plz hear the interview first. Btw roman is not a great wrestler but a good wrestler.

[@M.Sleeze]

i dont hate roman but hes still a rookie give him time becuz hes far from and too early to say hes one of the best

[@chrisanders713]

He's not a rookie lol he has been in the WWE for 5 years now and just beat Taker at Mania. That wouldn't have happened if he wasn't a great wrestler.

[@MontrealNative]

Chris Anders dude he's been working for the WWE since 2010. He's been there for 8 years

[@Nogardo]

Oh snap! That's all I gotta say about this :-D

[@JoxBT]

Clearly, His best feud in wwe has been with Cena.

[@jupiterthekitty]

AJ vs KO :) AJ vs Rusev :)

[@kekeedordu8422]

Shane match is never boring. .never

[@seraphonwingsoflead]

No Ellsworth?

[@educatedscum5306]

seraphonwingsoflead I forgot about that..

[@faust9741]

everybody knows that if AJ lost he'll be stronger than before

[@doesmynamematter4080]

He needs Chris to get Roman Roman to get cena and cena to get Ambrose and since Ambrose left Kevin came and aj styles got the match SO AJ THANK ROMAN AND Y2J

[@doesmynamematter4080]

THE BEST FUED HE HAD WAS WITG ROMAN REIGNS AND DONT COMMENT AND SAY NO BUT IF U AGREE COMMENT YES

[@Excalibur2112]

He carried Boring Reigns throughout the match, until Roman speared him for the easy win. Reigns was gassed and had clear difficulty keeping up with AJ's speed, it was totally blatant.

[@ghettostomp451]

now he complimented Roman, this is AJ Styles, and he thinks Roman is good, do you know better than AJ Styles, do you know which major opponents he didn't talk about on this video? ye, Ambrose and Ellsworth, you should be complaining abt these two tho.

[@brokenbrilliancerab6911]

Hellooooo

[@donkey7577]

Styles vs. Joe

[@shadowfragment]

Two whole minutes!?!? You think I'm made of spare time?

[@itsX2024]

Reigns/AJ feud was dope...better than the Cena one but the Cena matches were better.

[@Excalibur2112]

AJ should've won the title off Reigns he was dominating like 75% of the match.

[@gerardgrywacheski1418]

In the WWE Universe anything can happen...The Undertaker retiring maybe so...but if history is any indication he might come back one more time....Survivor Series?

[@williamschaeffer409]

i kinda wish aj would go back to the short hair, simply for nostalgia purposes.

[@kingtjgotgames5903]

John cena hands down

[@JingelJjay]

He needed Chris Jericho to get to Roman? Hell no! Roman needed AJ to get to the Undertaker...

[@laurenced2916]

AJ carried the hell out of roman stains

[@TG-fh7mc]

and he needed ambrose to get to ellsworth

[@drstevens16]

My favorite match of his so far is against Shane... but I'd go back and take that match away in a heart beat if he couldve been the one that faced Taker in his last match .. would've been a wayyyy better match and a much Better way to send the deadman to retirement.. and reigns is boring and didn't deserve that honor at all... hell I would've taken Cena over boreman which is sad.

[@AMG-ko3gt]

Tyrone titwaffle I would love to see Taker vs Styles and I've seen Styles worked with big and tall guys, but I think it's a bit too early for him to face Taker. He needs to be built up more and he has only wrestled for more than a year in WWE. Plus it will be very hard for AJ to carry Taker to a great match cuz Taker is old.

[@chrisanders713]

Reigns isn't boring and he did deserve that honor or else it wouldn't have happened.

[@drstevens16]

adrian mitchell galano Aj can carry anybody in a match and he's already a bigger star than reigns

[@drstevens16]

Chris Anders lol reigns isn't boring that's funny

[@brothernegro6976]

Before I watch Ima say it was against John cena

[@ISetYourFaceOnFire]

yea um aj is a nice and humble guy and all and i get his point but he is way to modest. him say ing ''make aj styles a better performer". i dont get it. he came into wwe as one of if not the best pro wrestler in the world and him saying that is kind of redundant. but yea hes improved but not by much because when you are the greatest pro wrestler on the planet theres very little room left for improvement.

[@KristianNikolla8]

He says roman because he's paid to say that

[@tyratooOP]

Kristian Nikolla Or you know... People can actually like other people. Even in interviews WWE don't even oversee guys put other guys over...because...well... they like them.

[@gnikulodeon1999]

He's not being paid.

[@thetwinklekidsruiz1375]

wwe better than tna impact

[@JordanPlaysWWE2k]

Trish Jericho lol

[@MarioLopez-iq1kq]

I thought he was going to make it rain

[@itsvisking6200]

aj carried roman reigns

[@tyratooOP]

Vishal Thakur They brought out the best in each other honestly. If AJ carried Reigns, his performance wouldn't have even been good. They both worked really well in their matches. Really hope to see them face off again actually.

[@itsvisking6200]

u really think roman brought out the best from aj styles hahahahahha plz go and see his njpw matches lol roman brought out best from aj styles the whole match was carried by aj styles #p1

[@tyratooOP]

Vishal Thakur I watched him in NJPW. Not saying that was AJ's peak but in terms of a match they brought out each other's strengths and it was fun to see them compete no matter who won or not. They bought out the best in each other and you being a AJ fan boy shouting a hashtag to support that fact should accept that yes AJ is great but Roman is good to and definitely wasn't carried because if AJ had to carry him then he wouldn't have good matches like that past AJ...but....he did. Him vs Braun, Him vs Seth & Dean, Him vs Rusev, Him vs Owens. And before you say he was carried there too, remember Dean and seth have had bad matches with wrestlers fans consider great in that same year and Braun, despite being a monster, is limited in ring but looks fucking great with a good opponent.

[@itsvisking6200]

Quavion Deering now what can I say to u man just go and see some review of that match and u will understand that aj carry reigns through out the match all roman can do is superman punch and spear all the big bumps had taken by aj

[@LexIconLS]

Poor Roman. Bad creative choices do not reflect his wrestling ability, or what other people who are actually in the business say about him. Smarks are the fucking worst.

[@saketarora4352]

I needed Roman (wwe wh champ, then) to get to John Cena! Did ya'all haters hear that!?? And if anyone of you stupid idiot's gonna temme that he also mentioned needing Cena to get to Ambrose, he jst meant the title Ambrose held!

[@KenDonMusicYT]

What point are you trying to make? You're all excited over nothing.

[@Socianxious]

ohhh so dean holding the title was more valuable than roman holding the title. wow! no wonder.

[@saketarora4352]

NOD NEK jst that Cena>Roman but actually yeah why did I commented that! no matter who hates cena how much! one cant hate him more than he hates reigns!

[@saketarora4352]

Phantom Delta oh cmon its not what I or AJ Styles meant! we jst mean that wwe needed roman to get him to cena! here we are comparing the present and future face! and then they needed cena to get to dean, here we are comparing a 15x(then) wwe whc to current wwe whc!

[@ClipThatBro]

JCRivera98 haha good joke smark

[@gianrodriguez564]

James Ellsworth/Aj Styles feud was the best... Not!

[@angelamccafferrty9487]

None of his WWE feuds so far are anywhere near his best

[@icetray2727]

AJ should cut his hair and shave. He needs to look like the TNA AJ Styles

[@QFilmz]

Wtf is it with everyone and AJ styles ? WHO GIVES A SHIT ? What grown man watches the fuckin WWE anymore ? Seriously , watch anything from 1998-2001 over and over and over again because there's nothing else to see anymore
