The outcome of their high-stakes match may have just been revealed just hours before the marquee premium live event.The two men will have a rematch from the January 12th edition of Monday Night RAW, the night the Ring General visibly tapped out to the Phenomenal One’s calf crusher submission move.

Due to the referee’s negligence, Gunther walked away victorious. Styles has since been hell-bent on exacting revenge, even if it means risking his illustrious WWE career.

“I’ve heard some speculations that maybe they have Gunther cheat again, and the next night on RAW, it’s brought back out that AJ Styles’ career is not over.”

JoeyVotes learned mixed feelings over the Phenomenal One potentially ending his career this early.

“There are people within [WWE] that feel this is it, and at the same time, there are people within that are of a high level that feel like there’s no way this is it. So that is an interesting dynamic in the backstage area as we approach Saturday and the Royal Rumble.”

AJ Styles made his WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble, and it would be a full-circle moment for him if he closed the in-ring chapter at the same event 10 years later.

Last night on SmackDown, the Phenomenal One made it clear that he is going to have a year-long retirement tour just like John Cena had in 2025.

Will Gunther throw cold water on his plans? Fans must tune in tonight to find out.
