22 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown Live (August 2)
7. It's That Time Again...
Speaking about AJ Styles, this John O'Clock moment saw JBL say: "first day in IWGP he won that championship."
EH EH, as my good pal Stone Cold Would say.
IWGP is the governing body of New Japan Pro Wrestling. Their belts are defended on NJPW shows. NJPW own their championships. It would be like WWE hiring a governing body, let's call them the governors, and The Governors' Heavyweight Championship and belts of that ilk being defended on RAW and SmackDown.
John saying that IWGP is a promotion that AJ represented is, quite frankly, wrong.
