Fans on social media went wild for the return of AJ Styles. Their responses ranged from over the top hero worship to demands to include Styles in a traditional Survivor Series matchup. Several complained about Styles’ continued pairing with Omos.

“His Royal Phenomenalness gracing us with his presence once again! Time to end this tag team stuff, though. We’re all worn out from it now and have lost patience. I have no interest in seeing AJ/Omos carried into the Rumble or Mania. Respectfully, I think this has run its course.”

“Why are they sitting on AJ? Former IWGP Heavyweight Champion now just going through the motions rather than making an impact like he did in NJPW”

“Why is AJ not on the survivor series team??!!! And why is Omos still around please put AJ back in singles competition and stop wasting his talent”

While it appears most fans who commented were just happy to see AJ Styles back in a WWE ring, a very vocal portion of the fanbase is frustrated with the company’s use of Styles. It seems like fans are sick of Styles being attached to Omos in every storyline. Fans are clamoring for another memorable singles run for AJ.
