That 'soccer mom' style has nothing on the embarrassment caused by AJ's record against one James Ellsworth.

On the 11 October, 18 October and 22 November episodes of SmackDown, Ellsworth picked up three separate victories over one of wrestling's best performers. The first happened due to Dean Ambrose being special guest ref, and the second was via disqualification. The third, a Ladder Match, also happened because of Dean's interference.

Still, the history books show that Jimmy holds a trio of wins over AJ, and Styles can only point to one return victory over Ellsworth on the 20 December 2016 edition of SmackDown. That means the record between AJ and Ellsworth stands at 3-1 in favour of the chinless underdog character.

To put that into perspective, AJ lost only once in three pay-per-view matches against John Cena. Yes, James Ellsworth has more televised triumphs over Styles than Cena does.
