Speculation over the reason behind AJ Styles’ early return to WWE programming

AJ Styles made his surprise return to WWE programming on this week’s episode of Raw but latest reports reveal that the original plans for his return were different.

 


 

Dave Meltzer talked about him on the latest episode of his Main Event podcast and revealed that Styles was originally expected to stay away from the WWE programming longer.

AJ lost his boneyard match against Undertaker at WrestleMania and he was expected to sell the loss for longer but the company apparently changed the plans.

There is no news on the reason behind this change but it’s speculated that the recent low ratings of WWE shows could be a reason for this decision.

It’s interesting to note here that Vince McMahon had talked about the rating decline during the recent WWE earning call and blamed them on the absence of big names from WWE programming such as Brock Lesnar.
