AJ Styles Talks Rejected Merch Idea
AJ Styles was quickly inserted into the WWE main event scene upon his 2016 debut in that year’s Royal Rumble. Shortly thereafter, Styles and fellow former Bullet Club members Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows created The Club and feuded with John Cena.
During a recent Twitch stream, Styles discussed a merchandise idea that he pitched to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon to no success.
“Man, he was so much fun to work with. We did some really good stuff. He was so smooth and easy to work. That whole ‘Beat up John Cena’ thing was just a lot of fun. I actually had an idea for a shirt that said ‘Beat Up Cena’ or something like that, but when I pitched it to Vince, he said, ‘You want me to promote a shirt rooting against my top baby face’? I just went ahead and let that one go.”
Styles also said he’d like to be Triple H’s final opponent when “The Game” finally retires from the ring.
Styles battled The Undertaker in a Boneyard Match at this year’s WrestleMania and recently held the Intercontinental Championship for 70 days on SmackDown.
