AJ Styles was recently a guest on the Sam Roberts Wrestling podcast. AJ spoke on a wide variety of topics about his current run with WWE. One of the most interesting parts was when it was brought up that some fans say he carried Roman Reigns and John Cena to great matches.

AJ wrestled both Reigns and Cena in PPV matches over the past year that have been widely praised. Some fans say that it is all because of AJ and his talent. AJ himself disagrees.
Here is what he said:
“Listen, I don’t carry anything. I just try to do my part. Roman Reigns, and I knew this going into it how great he could be and giving to him and trusting him with the spots we were going to do and I think that had a lot to do with it. And I really thought, ‘holy cow, he’s a lot better than anybody thinks he is.’ Like, Roman Reigns is great!”

He also had some praise for John Cena:
“John Cena’s great. John Cena is willing to do anything and everything to make sure a match comes out as good as it possibly could be. It always comes down to two people. I’ve heard it said, and it’s flattering, if they put me in there with a broom, I can have a great match. And it’s not true. It won’t be entertaining whatsoever, but I’ll give it my best shot.”
Some big praise from AJ Styles. AJ vs a broom could easily main-event Wrestlemania……
