Before we discuss what a match between AJ Styles and MJF would actually appear to be, we have got to speak concerning the promos that may lead as much as it. Styles was never known to be a promo guy, but he can get people going when he’s given something that has a whole lot of meat on the bone. As for MJF, you already know what he’s able to, and the insults he would throw at Styles have probably been written already by the “Salt of the Earth.” It won’t be relevant to the story, but you’ll be able to guarantee MJF would make fun of Styles for his flat earth theories, his soccer mom haircut, or if he really desired to go for a deep cut, the Claire Lynch storyline from TNA.
For the match itself, it might most probably be great, but it surely would even be a terrific showcase for MJF and one in all his own biggest strong points, making other people look good. I do know, he’s guilty of putting himself over on the sacrifice of getting a well put together match at times, but he has matured greatly within the seven years he’s been in AEW, and over the past two years especially, MJF has proven that when paired with the proper people, he can put other people over as well. He did it for Will Ospreay, Hangman Page, he even did it for Mark Briscoe, MJF could be one in all those people who bring one of the best out of somebody like Styles this late on his profession, which might only back up MJF’s claims of being a generational talent.
We talked about it in relation to Styles potentially wrestling Kyle Fletcher or Hangman, but Styles cannot do half of the things he’s remembered for in TNA, ROH, or NJPW. If anything, the AJ Styles we have seen in WWE over the past decade is not watered down due to company, it’s watered down so Styles can preserve his body and live to fight one other day, especially up to now few years. Sure, he can have a hard-hitting, NJPW-style war with people every so often, but he likes to wrestle in a way where he can get away from bed within the morning and MJF would actually be the right person to paired up with for a match like that.
MJF is an enormous fan of old-fashioned, less is more storytelling, meaning that Styles would likely be dying to get within the ring with someone like that. Styles wrestling someone who makes the little things mean more and never forcing him to go hell for leather from the opening bell, he’d bite your hand off for a deal like that at once. I’m not saying Styles cannot wrestle the “AEW style” whatever which may be, but MJF is someone who can principally work any style and make it look good, or within the case of wrestling Styles, it might probably be phenomenal.
