Brock Lesnar: AJ Styles makes Survivor Series revelation about UFC legend
AJ STYLES has revealed that his stunning encounter with Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series last year was probably the biggest match of his legendary career.
Lesnar and Styles collided in an incredible Champion vs Champion Match at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas when they held the Universal and WWE Championship respectively.
The Phenomenal One took the UFC legend to the absolute limit and almost beat him with the Phenomenal Forearm and the Calf Crusher.
However, The Beast managed to regroup and picked up a hard-fought victory with a devastating F5.
Styles has had some unbelievable matches during his two-year stint in WWE against the likes of John Cena, Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan and more.
This one, probably the biggest
But the two-time world champion told WWE.com during a documentary about his 371-day reign as WWE Champion that he considers the bout against Lesnar as “probably the biggest” he’s ever had because he never thought it would ever happen.
Styles said: “He beat AJ Styles in the end, but not by much.
“Unbelievable, just assume stuff like this would never happen to me.
“I learned to live with them because I never thought I’d be in WWE.
“I’ve had matches that are unbelievable and match-ups that I didn’t think I’d ever have.
“This one, probably the biggest.
“That’s another moment in my WWE career that I’ll never forget.”
Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman was so impressed with Styles that he invited him to watch his post-match interview so that he could hear all the praise he had for him.
Heyman revealed that he has been a fan of the TNA legend for many years and even likened his success to that of WWE Hall of Famers Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and Ric Flair.
The Advocate said: “I’m shocked, cause I’ve been an AJ Styles fan since before I was supposed to be an AJ Styles fan.
“He’s everything that Shawn Michaels, and Bret Hart, and Ric Flair were to their generation and he’s updated it.
“The single most phenomenal in-ring performer I have ever had the honour and the pleasure of watching up close. I have been doing this my entire life.
