AJ Styles joins elite list, becomes latest Grand Slam Champion


AJ Styles joined the WWE back in 2016. He made his name through his long survival run at the 2016 Royal Rumble. AJ Styles then went on to cultivating with the upper card Wrestlers like John Cena. AJ Styles has been the WWE Champion for a couple of times and recently he won the RAW Tag Team Championship.

AJ Styles was accompanied by his huge partner Omos against The New Day at the Night one of Wrestlemania 37th. AJ & Omos fought the best Tag Team there ever was and is. The New Day had AJ Styles in their hands and they were not letting him go.

Somehow, AJ Styles managed to tag his partner Omos after which the New Day stumbled. Omos single-handedly thrashed both Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods and there was no need for AJ Styles anymore. AJ & Omos beat the New Day fair and square and lifted the RAW Tag Team Titles for the first time in their career.
