AJ Styles just gave fans a surprise twist heading into his match with Shinsuke Nakamura—and it’s all in the details.
Hours before their one-on-one showdown at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, AJ Styles took to Twitter to share an update about his ring gear. Originally made for the Royal Rumble, Styles revealed that he has decided to break it out early for his clash with Nakamura instead.
“Had some gear made for the rumble but I have decided it’s a perfect fit for my match with @ShinsukeN tonight. Don’t miss #SNME 🎬”
This match is being billed as a possible final encounter between the longtime rivals, who first squared off in NJPW before taking their rivalry global in WWE. With retirement rumors swirling around Styles, this could be his last dance with The King of Strong Style—and he’s clearly dressing for the occasion.
Their previous battles include a WrestleMania showdown in 2018 and several brutal encounters for the WWE Championship. This latest meeting is a full-circle moment, one that AJ seems to be treating with the reverence it deserves.
WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event airs January 24, 2026, at 8 PM ET on Peacock (US) and YouTube (international). You won’t want to miss this one.
