After Wrestlemania 32, Roman Reigns needed to establish himself as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship immediately and the feud with AJ Styles did an outstanding job of accomplishing that goal.
Recently, it was revealed that AJ Styles would be the next guest on a live edition of the “Stone Cold Podcast” on the WWE Network after the next episode of Monday Night Raw.
It’s only natural that Austin’s opinion on Styles would be revealed before he sat down with AJ to discuss his career and everything else.
Recently, Stone Cold sat down with Sports Illustrated to discuss Broken Skull IPA and AJ Styles came up in conversation and he gave his opinion the Styles role in getting Roman Reigns over.
You can read the full interview right here. Below is what Austin though of Reigns vs. Styles:
“AJ Styles just carried Roman Reigns to two world class matches back-to-back,” said Austin. “The second one wasn’t as good as the first, but it’s hard to top an all-time classic. Reigns carried his end, but that was all AJ. They keep beating that f—— kid, and they’ve got a potential superstar on their hands.”
“He’s only been working 16, 18 years, f—, he’s got it figured out. Put a rocket on his ass and send him to the moon. I would love to see them run with Styles. I called him over the last time I saw him, which was before he got into that string of really good matches, and we’d never met. I said, ‘Hey man, good luck.’
