7. Is AJ Styles Really Upset About The Royal Rumble 2017 Poster?
During a recent interview with Sporting News, WWE Champion AJ Styles talked about the Royal Rumble 2017 poster, Samoa Joe’s WWE main roster debut and more. Below are the highlights:
His reaction to being in the back of this year’s WWE Royal Rumble poster:
“It’s actually people reacting on Instagram and Twitter showing me. I think they were a little more upset than I was. I get what’s going on here on the poster. Those are your stars that have been here for a long time. So I get it. They’re in marquee matches as well.
They’re faces that people recognize. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not happy with it. I think that the WWE Champion should be definitely up front but, at the same time, I understand the reasoning for the poster.”
Samoa Joe possibly debuting on the WWE main roster soon:
“Well, Joe is an amazing wrestler. There’s no doubt about that. Always has been. Joe is one of my really good friends. It’s just a matter of time before he’s on the roster. It wouldn’t surprise me if he showed up on Sunday.
There’s always surprises in the Royal Rumble and you try not to get surprised, you try to see it coming but that’s what makes the Royal Rumble so fun. If Joe doesn’t show up on Sunday, he’ll definitely show up soon. I know it.”
