44 WTF Moments From WWE Royal Rumble 2016

17. AJ Styles Is #3

Easily the most entertaining moment for many wrestling fans was the shock appearance of AJ Styles, not shocking that he actually showed up, but a huge surprise that the trigger was pulled so early, with him entering at #3 and having a direct confrontation with Roman Reigns from the get-go. As they did a few times throughout Styles' tenure in the match, his finisher, the Styles Clash, was heavily teased when he almost nailed it on Roman (much to the joy of the smarky crowd), but he didn't get to actually hit anyone with it. It was an awesome debut both because Styles proved himself beyond any doubt and the crowd went completely wild for him: it's just a shame that the terrible camerawork focused on Roman's face rather than cutting to the set when his titantron first played out.
