WWE News: Brock Lesnar Was Not Aware of AJ Styles Being his Survivor Series Opponent

It is a fact that the WWE title change just before the Survivor Series PPV shocked the fans.

Considering that Brock Lesnar vs Jinder Mahal match was getting promoted to sell out the PPV being the main event of the night, it was unlikely that any alteration would be made in this segment. But, that’s what WWE creative team had in store for us on last week’s episode of Smackdown Live.

AJ Styles received his first shot at Jinder Mahal’s WWE Championship after getting victimised by the Modern Day Maharaja. He pulled off a shocking victory to the disbelief of the fans. A phenomenal fore-arm was enough to pin the India-native and become the new title-holder on Smackdown Live.

By this win, the main event for Survivor Series has altered to Brock Lesnar vs AJ Styles match. It is a dream match for the pro-wrestling fans, but they did not have any clues of witnessing this one this early. If a recent report is to be, believed then the beast incarnate does not have a clue, as well that he is going to challenge the Phenomenal One at the last dual brand PPV of the year.

According to the reports of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the reigning Universal Champion had no clues of this title change, at all. It was a last minute decision taken by the creative team on the day of Smackdown, itself. After arriving at the arena, both the competitors of the match got to know the outcome.

The reason behind Lesnar not having a clue of the title change would be that all the hype-ups around Survivor Series were made based on Jinder Mahal challenging the beast incarnate in a match. Due to this, WWE made him a strong champion with a title reign of over 150 days. The previously booked segments also suggested that there should not be any change, at all.

So, Lesnar might have come to know about this only the unthinkable happened. Now, these two renowned pro-wrestlers will be seen going head-to-head on November 19th in a match that we have never expected to see. The stakes of the PPV have gone even higher with this particular match happening.
