7. AJ Styles Says He Doesn't Think He's Getting Respect From Roman Reigns

Thus far, AJ Styles has tried to keep things on the level between Roman Reigns and himself. It's actually been the WWE Champion who has been the aggressor most often, even hitting AJ with a Powerbomb through the announce desk on last week's Raw broadcast. That has to be addressed by the challenger.

Styles had earlier turned down the chance to assault Reigns with a steel chair, despite the fact he was helpless and at his mercy. That counted for nothing when Roman ignorantly battered AJ, and the titleholder showed more disrespect on SmackDown. Arrogantly holding the WWE Title in front of his foe, Reigns looked like he didn't think much of Styles.

That would be the crux of AJ's promo on Monday Night Raw, saying he didn't feel like he was getting the same amount of respect from Reigns as he was showing to him. Short and sweet, he'd say that he's having second thoughts about whether Roman is the man he says he is, claiming it's no wonder people boo, because they can see right through him.
