Wrestlemania Matches
1. WrestleMania 32 – vs Chris Jericho
Styles’ WrestleMania debut came against his former Tag Team partner Chris Jericho. They won a couple of tag team matches in the build-up before Jericho turned on him and attacked him during a match. Styles later challenged Jericho by distracting him with “Y2 Jackass” chants in subsequent matches until Jericho accepted his challenge. Their encounter at WrestleMania 32 was good, but WWE sprung a surprise when Styles was defeated when he went for the Phenomenal Forearm, but Jericho countered with a codebreaker to pin him cleanly. Although, Styles’ performance only increased his stature in WWE.
2. WrestleMania 33 – vs Shane McMahon
In this storyline, Styles blamed Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan for not having the WrestleMania 33 Main Event match and attacked Shane backstage. Shane then challenged Styles for the match at WrestleMania 33. During the match, both stars countered each other’s moves several times. McMahon attempted Leap of Faith with Styles on the announce table, but Styles was able to move out. In the finish, Styles was able to avoid a shooting star press from Shane and hit the Phenomenal Forearm to win his first WrestleMania match.
3. WrestleMania 34 – vs Shinsuke Nakamura(WWE Championship Match)
Shinsuke Nakamura & AJ Styles faced each other several times in other promotions, but this was their first match against each other in WWE. Styles was the reigning WWE Champion while Nakamura became the challenger after winning the men’s Royal Rumble match in 2018. After a good back-and-forth match, Styles reversed Nakamura’s Kinshasa into a Styles Clash to retain his WWE Championship. After the match, the two showed respect for each other and Nakamura kneeled down and presented Styles with the WWE Championship belt. But, that was a ruse as Nakamura turned heel to stretch their rivalry further down the road.
4. WrestleMania 35 – vs Randy Orton
WWE set up this match as a WWE’s Home-grown Superstar(Orton) vs a wrestler who became the star in the independent scene(Styles). Earlier, this match was supposed to open WrestleMania 35 but went second due to Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins match going first. Even then, the match did not disappoint and can even be considered one of the best matches of WrestleMania for both Styles and Orton. After some nice spots, Styles won the match with the second phenomenal forearm of the match.
5. WrestleMania 36 – vs The Undertaker(Boneyard Match)
The Undertaker appeared at Super Showdown 2020 to attack AJ Styles and The Good Brothers, costing him the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy in the process. He cost Styles another PPV match when he interfered in his No DQ match vs Aleister Black at Elimination Chamber 2020. After that, Styles dig into Undertaker’s private life in his promo to take the storyline forward and setup the boneyard match.
Taking advantage of being a pre-taped show, WWE shot the match between The Undertaker and Styles more like a movie. Although the action was low-key in comparison to an action movie, it was unlike anything ever done for a wrestling match. Also, the match was high on drama and relied totally on huge strikes rather than wrestling moves. In the end, The Undertaker was the last man standing after (literally)burying AJ Styles in the boneyard.
6. WrestleMania 37 – New Day(Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) vs AJ Styles & Omos – WWE RAW Tag Team Championship
AJ Styles kept Omos as his bodyguard from October 2020 onwards and Omos helped him win many matches. After Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods won the RAW Tag Team titles, AJ & Omos came out to challenge them for the title match at WrestleMania. New Day accepted the challenge right away.
At WrestleMania, Kofi & Woods kept AJ cornered and did not allow him to tag Omos. But once AJ countered and brought Omos in the match, he ran havoc in the ring and was able to defeat New Day with ease.
7. WrestleMania 38 – vs Edge
WWE Hall of Famer Edge wanted another big WrestleMania moment in the year 2022. He gave an open challenge to the locker room to face him at WrestleMania and claimed that he would make his opponent memorable. AJ Styles accepted his challenge and Edge then turned on him after this.
At WrestleMania 38, AJ put up a spirited performance and had possibly his best WrestleMania match so far, going toe to toe with Edge. However, as he was looking to finish the match with Phenomenal Forearm, Damian Priest came to ringside to distract him. Edge caught AJ with a spear as AJ was going for the Phenomenal Forearm and got the pin.
8. WrestleMania 40 – vs LA Knight
Both LA Knight and AJ Styles were involved in WWE Universal Championship scene early in 2024. After they lost the fatal 4-way title match at Royal Rumble, they blamed each other for this loss. Styles attacked Knight in the World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender Elimination Chamber match to cause his elimination. After this, Knight challenged Styles for a match at WrestleMania 40, which Styles accepted after Knight invaded his house.
At WrestleMania 40, Styles dominated the major part of the match but Knight rallied in the end and was able to counter The Phenomenal Forearm with BFT to get the pinfall.
Phenomenal one is the greatest.
