10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (18 Oct)

10. A Phenomenal AJ Styles Championship Stat

This one could easily turn into a Scott Steiner TNA promo, but here goes.

As of Tuesday this week, AJ Styles had been in WWE for 1,360 days. He's been WWE Champion for a combined 511 days across two reigns and United States Champ for a total of 184 days across three reigns. Add them together and you'll get 695. Now for the really interesting part.

50% of 1,360 is 680. That means that AJ has held championship gold in WWE for over half of his run, which is pretty insane to think about. Before he signed with the company, there were worries from his hardcore fans that Vince McMahon wouldn't know what to do with Styles and, worse, might bury him completely.

This statistic proves those worries were unfounded. AJ's days holding titles exceed the 50% mark, and that's something anyone chewing fingernails before his 2016 Royal Rumble debut should be happy about. He's been treated like a top star by WWE.
