AJ Styles addresses a match from his WWE career that he “wasn’t supposed to lose”
While speaking on his podcast, AJ Styles addressed losing the United States title to Kevin Owens at the 2017 WWE Battleground PLE. Here is what Styles stated…
“Here’s something that people don’t know. When I lost that one to him, I wasn’t supposed to lose. My shoulder was supposed to be up, and I thought it was. I was pissed.
Dave and Bryan didn't have the scoop on the AJ/Owen finish – I really wonder what sources they have now nowadays? pic.twitter.com/XRsY7p0oFa

I came back going, ‘What the freak is going on?’ And Vince [McMahon] was like, ‘Your shoulder wasn’t up.’
I was sure it was up. I was mad—not because I lost, but because I was thinking, ‘Why the freak did he count something that wasn’t a pin?’
So he goes, ‘Show him. Take him to the freaking truck and show him.’
I said, ‘Let’s go.’
I went back and watched it. Sure enough, my shoulder was down.
So I said, ‘Vince, You’re right. I was wrong. Sorry about that.'”
