AJ Styles made his highly anticipated return to WWE RAW this week after being sidelined due to an injury last year. The Phenomenal One’s comeback was met with great excitement from fans, who were eager to see him back in action.
Styles’ hiatus began when he suffered an injury during a match against Carmelo Hayes on the October 4, 2024, episode of SmackDown. After spending some time recovering, he made a surprise return in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble Match and was subsequently moved to the RAW brand.
During his return to RAW this week, Styles addressed the WWE Universe before being confronted by Dominik Mysterio and Carlito, leading to a physical altercation. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed an interesting detail ā Styles was wearing his ROH gloves, which he had been sporting throughout his time in WWE. This observation prompted Styles to clarify that he owns the logo on the gloves and allows the company he works for to sell merchandise featuring it.
In a backstage segment, Styles demanded a match against Dominik Mysterio the following week, which was eventually granted by Adam Pearce. Additionally, Styles had a tense encounter with Bron Breakker backstage, hinting at a potential feud between the two superstars in the future. The WWE Universe erupted with excitement at the prospect of a showdown between Styles and Breakker, with many eagerly anticipating how the rivalry will unfold.
As Styles sets his sights on potentially challenging Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship, fans are eager to see how this storyline will develop in the coming weeks on WWE RAW. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting feud between two of WWE’s top talents.
