'AJ Styles' talks a big game, but the new WWE World Champion may have talked himself into a major corner when he battles both 'Dean Ambrose' and 'John Cena' in a Triple Threat Match at WWE No Mercy.
On his first SmackDown LIVE after low-blowing Dean Ambrose out of the WWE World Title, The Phenomenal One proclaimed that, since he’d made good on his promise to become champion, his word was now infallible and that everything he says from here on out should be taken as fact. So, for instance, if he was to claim that he could beat The Lunatic Fringe and John Cena, whom he knocked off at SummerSlam, in the same match, the WWE Universe would just have to take his word for it.
Can AJ Styles cement his status as the new “Face That Runs the Place”? Or is his time up before it even began? Find out on WWE No Mercy, live Sunday, Oct. 9, at 8 ET/4 PT on the award-winning WWE Network.
Have you ever seen a human fly? Keep your eyes on AJ Styles.
Known the world over for his in-ring prowess and thrilling aerial maneuvers, "The Phenomenal One" AJ Styles has found success everywhere he’s traveled, accumulating an incredibly impressive résumé, capped off by sports-entertainment's most prestigious title, the WWE World Championship.
After decades spent as one of the world's most acclaimed competitors, Styles made his long-awaited WWE debut in the 2016 Royal Rumble Match. The Phenomenal One received a massive ovation from the WWE Universe as he brawled with the likes of Roman Reigns, Big Show and Kevin Owens during the free-for-all match.
An amazing run of accomplishments came
quickly from there, including a victory over John Cena at SummerSlam and
a WWE World Title win against Dean Ambrose at Backlash.
What the future holds for Styles in WWE is
anybody’s guess, however, the one thing you can bank on is that it is
going to be phenomenal.
The Cincinnati scrapper began his path to WWE with a fearless career on the independent scene where he earned a reputation for his ability to absorb and to distribute punishment in equal measure. Through his years toiling away in obscurity, Ambrose competed in some of the most vicious environments imaginable, sacrificing his body and blood in the pursuit of inflicting as much damage on his opponent as humanly possible. Victory was incidental. What mattered to Ambrose was always his message: No one is safe.
If you thought the PG-friendly environment of WWE would be enough to contain The Lunatic Fringe, Ambrose’s brutal debut as one-third of The Shield certainly put that notion to rest in a hurry. As did his record-setting reign as U.S. Champion while he was one of the brothers in black.
After The Hounds of Justice imploded, Ambrose
pursued rivals such as Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper with
all the intensity and lack of self-preservation instincts you’d find in a
rabid animal. This unpredictable nature proved virtually unstoppable
and allowed Ambrose to capture the Money in the Bank briefcase and the
WWE World Heavyweight Title in one night at WWE Money in the Bank 2016.
Crazy stuff, right? Dean is definitely onto
something, though: The WWE Universe has fully latched onto his mad
machinations. It seems whatever twists and turns The Lunatic
Fringe takes in his career, it's only a matter of time before this
inmate runs the asylum.
John Cena..
He’s a 15-time World Champion, five-time U.S. Champion and record-setting Make-A-Wish granter. He’s released a hit album, starred in blockbuster movies, and — more than a decade into his WWE tenure — he hasn’t slowed down a step. If you really can’t see John Cena at this point, chances are you simply aren’t looking.
Was there any doubt Cena would become the living legend he is today? You practically knew you were glimpsing the future “Face That Runs the Place” when a muscular Massachusetts kid threw down with Kurt Angle for a chance to become a true WWE Superstar. Sure enough, a little ruthless aggression went a long way. After gaining the respect of his peers by stepping to The Olympic Hero, Cena went supernova as the fire-spitting Doctor of Thuganomics, eventually reaching the peak by upending JBL for his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 21.
Far from being a one-hit wonder, however, Cena set up shop at the mountaintop and refused to decamp, instituting an open-challenge policy to anyone who thought they could knock him off: You want some, come get some. And slowly but surely, Cena — preaching an ethos of “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect” — not only amassed a battalion of followers he dubbed the “Cenation,” but also accumulated enough hardware to fill a Home Depot. He didn’t cut corners to get it done, either. Cena’s resume of defeated foes comprises both future WWE Hall of Famers like The Rock, Randy Orton, Batista, Brock Lesnar and Triple H and some of WWE’s newest stars in Seth Rollins, Rusev, Kevin Owens and Bray Wyatt.
All of this isn’t to say that Cena’s just a
ball cap–wearing brawler who talks with his fists. The Cenation leader
has thrown himself into charity work with the same passion as his
in-ring craft. With more than 500 Make-A-Wish visits, he’s granted more
requests than any other athlete in the organization’s history, where his
message of “Never Give Up” carries a new, profound meaning. He’s even
dipped his toe into Hollywood, starring in action thrillers like “The
Marine” and “12 Rounds” while showing his comedic chops in the Amy
Schumer hit “Trainwreck.” And yet, he still finds time to adjust
attitudes and knuckle-shuffle fools into defeat on the regular. Sure, a
few detractors might chant "Cena sucks," but for John Cena, rising above
hate is just part of the job description, and he’s still making camp on
the mountaintop waiting for someone to take a swing.
