AJ Styles is back in WWE after making his return at the Royal Rumble and he’s set for a big change in the company.

On February 1, Jey Uso shocked the world by winning the 2025 Royal Rumble match at the expense of heavy favourite John Cena. While Uso will now head to WrestleMania 41 and another date with Gunther and the World Heavyweight Title, his win wasn’t the only story on the night.

Earlier in the match, AJ Styles returned to action after suffering an injury back in October. The former World Champion entered at number 21 and was given a monster reception along the way. Styles followed his surprise entrance with a strong performance, lasting over 21 minutes before being unceremoniously thrown out by Logan Paul.

AJ Styles Is On The Move

There have been some changes recently in WWE thanks to the company opening a transfer window. As a result, Roman Reigns moved to Raw while The Wyatt Sicks were among the stars moving to SmackDown. The transfer window shut over Royal Rumble weekend but it seems Raw General Manager Adam Pearce managed to complete one more piece of business.

On the February 3 edition of Raw, Adam Pearce revealed that AJ Styles is now part of the red brand and he will be on the show on February 10 in Nashville.
