AJ Styles is celebrating the 5-year anniversary of his WWE career that indeed has been sort of phenomenal. From becoming the longest-reigning WWE Champion in the history of SmackDown, he went on to face legends including The Undertaker in his final match. The ride he had been enjoying is something a top indie star like him hadn’t previously expected.
But WWE Universe embraced him with open arms since the very first day. Ever since his appearance in the 2016 Royal Rumble match, AJ Styles has been able to cement himself as one of the best in-ring workers in all of WWE. He has had great matches with legendary names in the past. Now, he talked about perhaps delivering the greatest feud of his career with John Cena.
AJ Styles recently spoke on WWE The Bump discussing his match against John Cena at the 2017 Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Styles put his WWE Championship on the line in the match and ended up dropping the belt on that night against the Cenation Leader in the process of executing an instant classic.
The match lasted for twenty-four minutes to bring out the very best of both competitors. In the end, Cena was victorious and became the WWE Champion marking his record 16th world title win.

While talking about the match, AJ Styles pointed out that neither one of them ever left the ring for the entire duration of the match, something that he is really proud of. But yet it was a roller-coaster ride from the get-go. The Phenomenal One also declared this match to be the very best match of his WWE career,
“I think about this match with John Cena, and I would say, out of all the matches I’ve had, this was the best one. A lot of people don’t know this, but we never left the ring in this match. We never went outside of the ring; it was all in the ring, which is not really heard of these days. I’m really proud of that match.”

AJ Styles is currently one of the top Superstars of Monday Night RAW who is looking forward to building a Hall of Fame career. Originally, he made his debut in WWE back in 2002, where he was mostly used as an enhancement talent. During that time, his most notable match happened against The Hurricane on Raw. That run quickly ended as he denied a contract offered by WWE.
