WWE SummerSlam 2016: 10 Awesome Moments
7. Pre-Match Atmosphere Between John Cena & AJ Styles
When AJ Styles made his WWE debut back in January at the Royal Rumble, most fans wondered just where he would fit into the company. Would he be treated with respect and become an even bigger star? Or, would Styles be considered just another face on the roster, quickly settling into the mid card pack?
As it turned out, AJ's talent did the talking for him. Following a brief union with Chris Jericho, he then feuded with Y2J before turning heel and eventually having some top main event matches opposite Roman Reigns. Once that was finished, he set his sights on John Cena, and hasn't looked back.
At SummerSlam, fan response was electric to both men before things even got underway. That's a sign of how over Styles is, he appeals to that select group who have never been able to stand Cena. Trading chants of, 'Let's Go Cena' and 'AJ Styles' dominated the arena as both wrestlers stood across the ring from one another.
Straight away, this handed the match that big fight feel WWE like to talk about often. AJ Styles continues to open eyes.
