HILARIOUS Backstage Wrestling Stories You Probably Didn't Know
7. AJ Styles Won't Leave Until He Has Defeated Samoa Joe At Tekken
Along with battling it out in everywhere from TNA to WWE over the years, 'The Phenomenal' AJ Styles and the unstoppable Samoa Joe have also taken their long-running rivalry to another, slightly more unexpected location: an arcade.
Jumping all the way back to their time throwing down as rivals in Ring of Honor, Joe actually told a story about how the pair ended up clashing on Tekken 4 at the Vans Skatepark in California.
Despite Styles being a passionate lover of video games, though, the current AEW star repeatedly defeated the former WWE Champion. But AJ simply didn't know when he was beaten and apparently refused to leave until he conquered the big lad.

And with Styles' wife watching on and begging for her man to let them leave this dumb Tekken war behind, Joe ultimately explained how he had to let Styles win after whooping him five times already.
So, if you ever find yourself going one-on-one with 'The Phenomenal One' online, just know that this hugely and hilariously competitive wrestler will not give up until he's come away with a 'W'.
