AJ Styles: I Don’t Understand Sami Zayn’s Title Loss, But It’s Not For Me To Understand
AJ Styles discusses a recent title change.
Monday’s episode of Raw was the conclusion of Sami Zayn’s run with the Undisputed WWE Championship, as he lost the belt to CM Punk. Some fans were upset with this result, saying that Zayn deserved a longer run with the title.
On the latest episode of the Phenomenally Retro podcast, Styles said that he doesn’t understand the decision but encouraged people to let it play out.
“I don’t understand. It’s not for me to understand, I get it. I didn’t write the show, I don’t know what’s happening. But, I’m hoping there’s an actual reason. From what I’ve saw on the internet, you know, backstage with Sami after the match, he’s pretty pissed off. Let’s see where this story goes before we start getting mad about everything that’s going on. This is a story that’s happening. Before we get our panties in a wad and just be as negative as we can be, let’s see what happens. This may be a transition in where Sami is a total different character. That might be what we need. It might be another match to do. What is the next match we’re looking forward to with CM Punk, is it him and Cody?”
Styles came up with a way that Zayn’s loss could hypothetically end up paying off.
“Is it Cody and Punk, Sami comes out and Helluva Kicks both of them. The match is thrown out, there’s no winner, Sami’s pissed off. Then, it leads to the three way. There’s things that can happen. Let’s see where it goes is all I’m saying. Before we start judging and being mad, even though I didn’t want a transitional champion, let’s see where it goes.”
Earlier this month, Styles explained why he didn’t want Zayn to be a transitional champion. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
