When AJ Styles Held the WWE Championship For 371 Days

[@wrestlingspremier]

*AUDIO IN BEGINNING WAS ADDED LAST MINUTE AND VOLUME WAS INCREASED SO I CAN HEAR THE SMALL SOUNDS IT'S ONLY FOR THE INTRO JUST LOWER IT. WE WILL WORK SMART WITH THE AUDIO GOING FORWARD* hope you enjoyed the holidays if you celebrated any of them. I wished for this video to be an hour but you can't drag a video for the sake of it. We even talked slower with this one. With that said, the next video is an ROH video. I think you have an idea of what it is. I might even drop it today if I could finish it. Once again, hopefully you had fun this week and it continues into the new year. I'm thankful for all of you and want to strive to give you better content, we've been improving the last 4 months but there's more we have to do

AJ vs. Brock had no right going as hard as it did.

[@nate_thegreat313]

AJ Styles had 2016 on lock and was the perfect face of SmackDown during that time. Seeing AJ from TNA to WWE and it was a fever dream seeing one of my favorites from TNA win the WWE Championship was one of SmackDown’s memorable moments

[@PinfallProductions316]

Loved style’s reign but what do you think about cody’s? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnLOYYiVfrGojtksi=JSZhfTAhrVIUROZU This is a documentary that I worked really hard on. Your thoughts would be so greatly appreciated.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

He was a heel

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

You could say that title run was a……… Phenomenon One

[@sportswithaj3096]

Say that again?

[@kashwayne]

what

[@theharv1490]

Phenomenal not phenomenon

[@deelove7518]

You and the 48 people who liked your comment had one job and failed miserably.

[@khesipresents1885]

It was un eventful and lame imo . His first was decent though the second not much

[@thetruej7872]

AJ Styles is easily the best WWE Superstar to come from TNA & NJPW

[@mycahjofficial]

Despite how awful of the WWE’s product was in the late 2010s, AJ Styles was one of the wrestlers that kept me watching. It was so awesome to see him end Jinder Mahal’s dreadful WWE title reign in late 2017 in grand fashion. While his second run wasn’t as great as his first as he was barely in the main event, AJ was doing the best he can carrying himself like a true top star who would constantly put on banger matches with anybody he was in the ring with despite some disappointing feuds.

[@M._mkid]

AJ Styles is the best wwe champion of that 2014-23 WWE Title Design. 2016-2018 Aj Styles was the face of Smackdown

[@kadharefinley224]

AJ Styles 2nd WWE Championship reign was incredible. That amazing match against Lesnar at Survivor Series 2017, Bangers against Nakamura and Joe (I think one of those guys should’ve took the belt off of him IMO) finally to end it off which a shock heel turn by Daniel Bryan which gave us the underrated “Planets Champion” gimmick. Interesting stories and of course great matches from the Phenomenal One 🐐

[@Infernallycharged]

MERRY CHRISTMAS MAN, DAMN BRO IS THAT NEW MIC

[@wrestlingspremier]

not a new mic lol. I just changed the settings. hope you enjoyed Christmas

[@Infernallycharged]

@@wrestlingspremierThanks you too, appreciate the content as always

[@cercrazyy2328]

Bro had me watching WWE so heavy around this time 2016-17 in high school!! He took over the company those two years!!

[@MauFerrer2000]

I prefer his 1st title run. During the second one he BARELY main evented a PPV and felt like a midcard champion 😪 I only enjoyed his match with Brock

[@wijinsama]

Hey WP, you should do a video on AJ Lee's Title Reign. It's crazy but also cool that she cane in as a nerdy girl and then became the prospect of the women's division in such a short time.

[@extremeking425]

I agree, you're right Wrestling Premier, his feuds with Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe in my opinion were too long. He faced Shinsuke at Wrestlemania 34, Greatest Royal Rumble, Backlash and Money in the Bank and I think he faced Samoa Joe at Summerslam, Hell in a Cell, SuperShow Down and Crown Jewel and yes I know the reason why they had a match at Crown Jewel. It was reported Bryan did not want to go. I'm saying this to say that long feuds should last 3 PLE's, not 4, that is usually when I get bored of them.

[@alec2000]

AJ Styles’ reign as WWE Champion was one of my all time favorites and in my opinion could’ve had the potential to become the longest reigning full time WWE champ that could’ve dethroned CM Punk’s 434 day reign. He was that consistent and good for me, I thought he deserved the honor, but as we know, he sadly lost before Survivor Series 2018 to Daniel Bryan. Regardless good time with some good matches.👍 Also Merry Christmas to you, bro.❤️🎁🎄

[@wrestlingspremier]

hope you enjoyed Christmas

[@bd_2213]

Ironically enough, the last time Sami won a match with the blue thunderbomb was against AJ Styles as the honorary uce

[@rigob5836]

AJ is Basically HBK not winning tittles but having awesome feuds and having banger after banger after banger matches

[@PrettyboyAshtun]

this was around the time i started to quit watching wwe but i still tuned in every now and then but he played a part in why i tuned in.

[@extremeking425]

When I heard the reason why he dropped the title, I was disappointed but I understood because he is not young anymore but I always wonder how long WWE would have wanted AJ Styles to be WWE Champion for.

[@pierrebornelus1709]

AJ in 2016 was on a different level he was so good. AJ vs Jinder was fun in 2017 as was AJ vs Brock was awesome. AJ was my guy in TNA

[@theharv1490]

One of my first memories of watching WWE. It’s a shame AJ didn’t main event more PPVs during that reign

[@BigNor23]

Aj styles deserves one last world title reign before he retires

[@Braylon1997]

His reign started off good but the multiple matches with Shinsuke and Samoa Joe tanked his 371 day run

[@theharv1490]

His matches with Shinsuke underwhelmed but the matches against Joe were good

[@DarrylKeithFordGaming]

I remember this title reign, as I watched SmackDown LIVE in 2017 and 2018, and 2016 before that (along with first title run)

[@Sleepzz716]

Even though we got their best match together already I think AJ Styles and John Cena should retire together, their last match would be against each other. It just makes sense

[@quentinflacko24]

Aj styles as a heel is dam good to me been a fan since the tna days🔥🔥 miss him as champion

[@JoeyTaylor-1995]

Aj styles title run for a year was fine

[@farisnasser1031]

🎉

[@brycegadson3370]

I say Aj Style’s peak years in wwe is 2016-2018

[@TheeIdol]

The best to ever do it. Vince McMahon respects this guy. He's one of the top 5 highest earners

[@unbornforgiven]

5:23 tbf that was clean change

[@pablovela9332]

The match at backlash was freaking AMAZING up until the end. The end completely ruined the match

[@theendisnigh4497]

Aj styles saved wwe for me

[@MaxMax-o3m]

The Phenomenal four arms

[@extremeking425]

If you see this comment I apologize if my comment came off as rude with me saying I won't be watching this video but I am really tired and I will definitely watch it later whenever I wake up so I just wanted you to know I edited the comment because I genuinely feel terrible about saying that to you Wrestling Premier person I don't know the actual name of (I'm joking actually I'm sorry but I'm not, I do not know your name) but yeah I edited the comment so if you see it again, I corrected myself. Lately, I'm surprisingly respectful all of a sudden. That Shinsuke Nakamura entrance from November 29, 2024 really changed my life both mentally and physically OMG.

[@dark_knight_dj]

It’s a Christmas miracle 🎉

[@TheKingZing]

Shinsuke should’ve won at mania. I still believe that to this day. He was so over

[@_spritexl]

eating good on christmas 🙂‍↕️

[@deandredukes95]

To think they had AJ win the title not once but twice

[@AliFrankTheTank]

🐐 !

[@uainjansun]

Really loved this reign from this time! Yeah the shinsuke matches (except mitb) where bad but other than that, it was solid

[@vjwebb6182]

Aj styles year long wwe championship 2017-18 was a decent reign.

[@Birdoswrld-]

2016-18 I only watched wwe for aj styles

[@lilshotgunboy9649]

Bro I have to say this. Did you use to make gaming videos if not you sound just like this other guy down to everything. If you are I wanna say thanks for helping me with the bottle locations in Sly 2 and 4

[@wwewrestlingandgaming4136]

What’s the big December video ?

[@thecontentbender]

Merry Christmas ❤❤

[@damaniresida6439]

Merry Christmas bro 🎅 🎄 ❤️ ♥️ Thanks for the Christmas gift❤️❤️

[@wrestlingspremier]

thank you, I appreciate it. I hope you had fun today

[@damaniresida6439]

@wrestlingspremier yes man I'm having fun☺️ 🤗

[@brycegadson3370]

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

[@jaysonreid588]

Yes finally!!!!!!! LOL

[@DoctorProfessorPablo]

I think you need to get a new mic. Great vid though

[@wrestlingspremier]

beginning was added in the end while my computer was being slow. My mistake

[@fro-zone2k]

It was clear that was given the title to help sell WWE 2k19.

[@harveymcelroy9332]

Nobody didn't wanna see Brock vs Jinder obviously the match at a ppv was gonna be aj vs brock😅😅

[@extremeking425]

I apologize in advance but I did not and won't be watching this entire video (I'm sorry if that was rude, I'm tired, and I'm probably going to watch this at like 1:45 in the morning but incase you don't see this comment then, I want you to see it now.) but if you did mention it, I'm sorry but just in case you did not mention it, if you don't know, AJ requested to drop the title because he was burned out (I don't remember where I heard this, this was 6 years ago) which makes sense, look at his In-Ring style, it's grueling but man I wish he joined the WWE when he was a little younger (around 2010-2011). I have a strange feeling that WWE won't put another World Championship on him. Notice how ever since he lost the WWE Championship over a decade and a half ago, he has yet to recapture the Title? He probably does not mind or care. He's near the end of his career and he wants to make enough money for himself and his family before he retires.

[@notTristynSmith]

Really enjoy most of your videos, but in this one, your audio is peaking really badly. Had to turn it off

[@wrestlingspremier]

the audio is good in the rest of the video after the intro. It was added last minute while I was worrying about connecting the entire video

[@pablovela9332]

Glad Shinsuke never won. Look at his midcard title reigns. All flops. Him winning the wwe title would of been a mistake

[@I-Am-Nemo-i-was-lost-help]

He also End One of the worst title reign .
