Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving AJ Styles, Roman Reigns & Cody Rhodes.
• AJ Styles is on a heel run, but hasn’t had much luck lately.
He was pinned by Roman Reigns in the Fatal 4-Way Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match at Royal Rumble 2024. He lost to LA Knight at WrestleMania 40. He lost to Cody Rhodes in the main event of Backlash France for the WWE Championship, and got eliminated from the King of the Ring tournament last week after losing to Randy Orton on SmackDown.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Styles revealed that his new goal in WWE is to be the most hated heel in the company, which means he wants to get more boos than Dominik Mysterio.
Here’s what the former WWE Champion said:
“As bad, ugly, and mean as a heel is supposed to be, I’m going to be that guy. When I step into an arena, I want more boos than Dominik Mysterio. That’s what I’m after. That’s my job, and I want to do it better than anybody.”

• The main event of WrestleMania 40 – Night 2 was a rematch between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Rhodes finally defeated Reigns and finished the story by winning the WWE Championship.
During an interview with The Daily Mail, Jey Uso called this match (which also featured John Cena, The Rock & The Undertaker) the greatest main event in the long, illustrious history of WrestleMania.
Here’s what Jey said:
“I didn’t even know what was going down. They told me, this is your part, here’s what you’re going to do. I’m like, ‘Alright, cool, I get to spear my brother off of stage, cool’. I’m so concentrated on my spot, then I don’t know what’s going down, then they tell me the rest of the what’s happening.
I made sure after I did what I did to hurry up and kind of get to the back so I could continue watching the match, because I automatically turned into a fan again.
I think it was the best main event in WrestleMania ever. My favorite part might have been when Undertaker popped up.”
