10 Wrestlers Who No Sold Huge Losses
5. AJ Styles Shrugs Off An Anything But Phenomenal 'Mania Debut
Following in the footsteps of everyone from Triple H to Shawn Michaels, AJ Styles didn't get off to the most successful of starts when it comes to his Show of Shows career.
In a bout that looked as though it had "show-stealer" written all over it heading into WrestleMania 32, "The Phenomenal One" went at it with one-time Y2AJ teammate Chris Jericho in a serviceable rematch. However, upon doing the favours for a veteran who clearly didn't need the Grandest Stage rub, the events that would unfold on the following night's episode of Raw made that call look even more baffling in hindsight.
Dumped into a fatal four-way to decide new WWE Champion Roman Reigns' first challenger, the former NJPW and TNA darling completely no-sold his 'Mania failure and set his sights firmly on The Big Dog's strap as the likes of Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Chris Jericho all joined him in scrapping for a spell.
If that wasn't enough, Styles would then go on to win the whole damn thing in the evening's main event, completely palming off his lacklustre first night on the 'Mania job in next to no time.
