Vince McMahon Had No Idea Who AJ Styles Was

WWE Superstar AJ Styles says that Vince McMahon had never seen any of his matches, and had no idea who he was before he debuted in WWE! #wwe #wrestling #ajstyles #vincemcmahon

Vince didn’t even watch NXT and it was part of his company

[masonmurphy]

We all remember those days. God forbid if you made a reference to a different promotion

[piroko]

Not just the TNA champion making an appearance at the Royal Rumble, but he showed up with his title too and both were treated with respect

[kingston]

Aj was so good. He did smackdown, then a pvp then raw in 3 days. Then he became champ. Angle said, vince told him he lamented not signing aj 10 years ago (2016)

[GetJiggyJiggy]

Which is crazy because if Vince had snagged AJ in 2008 when WWE was dry and TNA was hot, AJ with competent booking in WWE would've been even larger than he is now.

[Contsted_x]

If someone slept for 5 years and woke up now they'd think that Jake Gyllenhaal showed up

[erng]

Vince did a great job building up wrestling, however, he was one road minded

[lastdayonearthmysteryman]

AJ Styles is so good. He made Vince a fan of him.

[jamesblake]

That close mindedness nearly killed wwe in the 00/10s

[MackEastwood]

The fact that Vince tried to convince us that The Miz was a Pro and Danielson was a rookie during NXT’s original run was insane😂😂 even The Miz knew he was gonna be crucified by the hardcores since he knew who Bryan Danielson was

[marshallsmith]

That’s why when Dainelson was on NXT they made it seem like he was just some up and comer even though he was already one of the goats at the time lol (edit: I don’t care what literally any of you say. Dainelson is top 5 all time. You’re allowed to think otherwise because it’s just an opinion lol Imo he’s at Aj Styles level but what do Ik I just watched him in ROH and in Japan 🤷)

[johnbarton]

AJ thank you for everything you did for ROH. Real fans know what company is truly home to you. My Honor is Real

[senorbusyman]

I know back in the Fed days Vinnie only knew about WCW, ECW, NJPW, AJPW, AWA & NWA but after 2001 when WCW & ECW died everything outside WWF/E didnt exist to him & its his loss cuz TNA when they were partnered with NWA was the kickstart of a new era plus ROH too

"We don't sign Stars. We make Stars."
-John Cena, before WWE signed AJ Styles.

[islandguy]

Kudos to Triple H for literally Chang the culture

[kadharefinley]

Vince McMahon

Day 1: Who in the hell is this AJ Styles guy

9 months later: Put the WWE Championship on him

[terrienthee]

"If you're in Wwe, nothing exist outside"..even as an audience I could say its damn true 😫☠️

[PatrickGillman]

Honestly we all knew this I’m just glad someone like AJ said it

[peleg]

But after AJ came I think Vince agreed to watch other stuff. I mean according to Matt Hardy and Bully Ray he knew their characters from TNA

[JackDonaldson]

Someone said his name and he appeared we all have to believe in Joe hendry
