In a post on social media, Shane McMahon praised AJ Styles as one of the greatest in-ring performers ever following his loss to Gunther yesterday at the Royal Rumble.
“Thank you for your friendship and giving it your absolute best to entertain us all every single time you stepped through the ropes,” McMahon wrote. “You set the bar for current and future talent, let’s see if they can reach it.”
The two shared the ring together at WrestleMania 33, marking Styles’ first match at a WrestleMania. The 20-minute match kicked off the show on that night in Orlando.
“Congratulations on a Phenomenal career,” McMahon continued, tagging both Styles and WWE in his post.
