From the opening bell, it was clear Styles would have to weather a storm.
Still, this wasnt Styles first rodeo.
But before Styles could even catch his breath, the real drama began.

As Styles beckoned him into the ring, fans expected a tense standoff.
What they got was something far more brutal.

In a flash, the internet provocateur struck with a loaded punch, dropping Styles to the mat.
But he wasnt finished.
The attack wasnt just personal it was strategic.
The move may have been underhanded, but in WWE, it’s also undeniably effective.
What makes this whole situation work so well is how it blends the old and the new.
Styles, the respected veteran, is the embodiment of what traditional wrestling fans love.
Paul, meanwhile, represents the modern spectacle a wildcard with crossover appeal and a knack for pushing buttons.
WrestleMania cant come soon enough.
