According to 411mania.com, Styles appeared at last night’s event in a non-wrestling role. Styles was a surprise for the crowd and brought the US Title with him. It was in Wildside where he first used the Styles name and was noted by WCW, leading to his contract with the promotion. Here’s a shot of Styles in the ring last night:

Here’s Styles from his older days, around the time he was in Wildside:
Opinion: I love it when this kind of thing happens. How awesome would it be to go to something like this and have Styles show up as a surprise? It’s also cool to see someone remember their roots and Styles again comes off as a nice guy. WWE isn’t hurt by this in any way so it’s cool of them to let him do it too.
