AJ Styles’ recent Monday Night RAW promo was all part of WWE’s plan.
AJ Styles got fans talking after cutting a scathing promo on Monday Night RAW. During his rant, he mentioned how a WWE official clearly doesn’t want him there anymore. He added that they likely wanted him to be alone after Michin was transferred to SmackDown. Meanwhile, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were gone.
Due to the content and how personal The Phenomenal One’s words are, many fans believe the RAW promo may not have been scripted, especially since it took place during a commercial break in other places and areas. It also didn’t appear on the Stamford-based promotion’s social media immediately.
However, as it turns out, all of these are just a ploy from the Stamford-based promotion.
AJ Styles’ Monday Night RAW Promo Was WWE’s Way Of Trying Something Different
In an episode of WrestleVotes Radio, it was shared that AJ Styles’ promo wasn’t a shoot and he did exactly what he was supposed to do. As it turns out, it was WWE’s way of experimenting with something different to see if it would catch on organically, which it did. The Stamford-based promotion’s social media team was also not given any instructions to avoid anything and proceed with the usual business instead.
