AJ Styles, one of Roman Reigns’ opponents at the 2024 Royal Rumble, believes it’s high time for The Tribal Chief to relinquish the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Scheduled to face off in a Fatal Four-Way Match at the upcoming Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, the showdown will also feature Randy Orton and LA Knight vying for the prestigious title.
Reigns has held the championship for an impressive 1244 days, marking a significant milestone. Conversely, The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles, last held a world title back in 2018.
In a recent appearance on The Collection with Brad Gilmore, Styles expressed his desire to capture the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the 2024 Royal Rumble, emphasizing that it’s time for Reigns to step aside and allow him a chance to carry the title.
“What’s important is the WWE Championship, and you know, I want it back. I haven’t held it in a while, and it’s time for Roman Reigns to relinquish the championship and let someone like AJ Styles seize the opportunity and make a mark with it. It’s going to be a hard-fought battle because you’ve got two other contenders, Randy Orton and LA Knight, who are equally determined to claim it. We’ll see what unfolds,” remarked AJ Styles.
In the upcoming Fatal Four-Way Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the 2024 Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns faces the risk of losing his title without being pinned.
With AJ Styles in the mix, he could potentially capitalize on the opportunity by executing his signature move, the Styles Clash, on LA Knight or Randy Orton, thereby clinching the championship.
As one of the top-tier talents in WWE, AJ Styles commands immense respect and recognition. His potential victory at the 2024 Royal Rumble would mark his third reign as a world champion, further solidifying his illustrious career.
With an impressive track record behind him, adding another championship to his accolades would undoubtedly be a significant accomplishment for The Phenomenal One.
