AJ Styles vs Gunther
AJ Styles and Gunther will tussle in a singles match for the first time ever in Düsseldorf. The match was set up following their segment last week, where Styles confronted Gunther, who continued to insult John Cena.
The Ring General continued the disrespect, asking what “little AJ” was going to do about it, even hitting the “You Can’t See Me” taunt. Styles answered by slapping Gunther, leading to a brief face-to-face clash as Styles challenged him.
Following the segment, Gunther asked for the match from General Manager Adam Pearce, while Styles mocked him and called him a ‘b*tch’ for going to the boss to complain. Gunther again asked for the match as Pearce made it official for the January 12 show.
