AJ Styles Announced For Next Week's WWE Backstage
Phenomenal.
The official @WWEonFOX Twitter account announced that none other than AJ Styles will be the big guest on next week's episode of WWE Backstage.
The account's exact wording said that the "mother lovin' @AJStylesOrg" would be on the show this coming Tuesday. Make sure to tell your mum.
In all seriousness, WWE will be hoping that AJ is a better ratings draw than Jeff Hardy was last week. According to reports, the soon-to-return high-flying daredevil attracted just 18,000 viewers on FS1. To put that into context, the lowest number in Backstage history was previously 49,000 (for the show's debut episode).
Ouch.
In that sense then, Styles can't lose. If something noteworthy happens during his 'No DQ' match with Aleister Black on Sunday at Elimination Chamber, he'll have plenty to talk about. Some are guessing there's a fair chance that The Undertaker will show up in Philly for the pay-per-view and tweak his WrestleMania 36 plans along the way.
If that happens, then regular hosts Renee Young and Booker T will have some good material to work with when interviewing the 'Phenomenal' one. If not, they can always talk about his hair or something.
