Styles says that there were lighting issues during their match, which blinded almost half the stadium. He said that they would have their match in the number one & second spot, but Lesnar match was swapped to the position. AJ Styles said that the lighting issues raised during their match pissed him, but says that Randy Orton was more pissed off than him.
AJ Styles said,
“That’s definitely one to forget because the lights were blinding people. We were supposed to go two or one, and then, of course, Brock [Brock Lesnar] gets to do anything he wants, so he switched it. By the time we went out there, the lights had come on and blinded half the stadium. I was pissed. You know who was even more pissed than me? Randy [Randy Orton]. I knew I didn’t have to get mad if Randy was mad.”
As WrestleMania 35 was one of the days to forget for Styles, will WrestleMania 40 be one of the matches that will be remembered for a long time? Comment your thoughts below.
