AJ Styles started 2020 as an outside pick to win the Royal Rumble. Not a favourite by any means but a plausible dark horse, for sure. He ended the match with his shoulder being tended to, picking up an injury after taking an overly-exuberant bump off a spear from Edge. This left him unable to do much in the ring, which put the kibosh on his feud with Aleister Black.
Despite this, Styles seemed primed to win the inaugural Tuwaiq Trophy at Super ShowDown. The O.C. had taken out Rey Mysterio, meaning a forfeit was in the offing, only for The Undertaker to insert himself into the match and pick up the win. ‘Taker stuck his nose in AJ’s business once again at Elimination Chamber, allowing Black to defeat The Phenomenal One.
All of this led to a WrestleMania showdown between AJ and The Undertaker, a Boneyard match that headlined night one of the extravaganza. The match was a success, way more entertaining than it had any right to be, with many calling it the most entertaining portion of a very long weekend. That’s all well and good, but it does somewhat overlook the fact that AJ Styles was literally (in a wrestling sense) buried. He lost the match when ‘Taker shovelled him into an actual grave. AJ’s 2020 went from bad to worse. To compound all of this, his buddies Gallows and Anderson soon found themselves out of work.
AJ Styles started 2020 in a faction with two of his closest friends, looking forward to a year of success, titles, big wins and major memories. With a third of the year done, The Phenomenal One can look back at injuries, defeats, pink slips and boneyard-related misery. The only way is up for the former WWE Champion.
