WWE Superstars paid tribute to AJ Styles during the second
live event in Tokyo, Japan as this was the last time he
would be wrestling in the country before his upcoming
retirement next year.
Styles was introduced back to the ring by CM Punk following
the main event and was given the opportunity to close the
show.WWE action figures.
The former champion put over the Japanese crowd, telling
them that he doesn’t know where he would be without them and
he’s sure that he would not have landed in WWE if he never
had that stint in Japan.
He then handed a note over to Shinsuke Nakamura which was in
Japanese and Styles asked for Nakamura to read it in his
native language for the fans in attendance.
The note said that Japan welcomed him with respect and
passion and every time he wrestled here, he gave everything
he had because they were worthy fans. He said the crowd gave
him trust, energy, and love for professional wrestling,
something that he will never forget. And while he will leave
the ring one day, a part of his heart will always remain in
Japan.
The roster who is part of this Japan tour then came out to
the ring to honor the Phenomenal one and Styles was carried
on the shoulders of CM Punk and Ivar to salute the fans.
Styles wrestled Kofi Kingston on the second match of the
show.
