WWE stars AJ Styles and Iyo Sky make their wrestling returns to Japan
Over the weekend, WWE stars AJ Styles and Iyo Sky make their wrestling returns to Japan as the company continues to build relationships with other promotions. Just prior to his match, Styles said the following to the media…
“I think this is showing the Triple H era of what WWE is all about. That just goes to show what Triple H is trying to bring throughout the world and WWE, whether it be in NOAH or somewhere else. Having the opportunity to wrestle there is big for everybody, and it just shows how we were willing and able to work together so that we all can make pro wrestling as big as we possibly can.” (quote courtesy of Colin Tessier)
