3 Reasons why AJ Styles lost to Logan Paul at WWE WrestleMania 41
WWE WrestleMania 41 Night 2 saw AJ Styles and Logan Paul locking horns in a singles bout, which ended with the Maverick defeating the Phenomenal One. The match also witnessed Karrion Kross' arrival at the ringside, who tried to aid Styles, but things concluded in contrast.
This article will discuss three reasons why AJ Styles lost to Logan Paul at WrestleMania 41.
#3. To plant seeds for AJ Styles' heel turn
One of the primary reasons behind the Phenomenal One's loss could be to plant seeds for Styles' heel turn. We have seen how Kross tried to manipulate Styles to use those brass knuckles and eventually beat Logan Paul.
However, the former World Champion, instead of using it, started attacking Kross, which gave the Maverick sufficient time to recover and beat the veteran.
So, now the victory of the YouTuber has seemingly planted seeds for the villainous turn of Styles. The 47-year-old star surely wasn't happy about the loss and may instead have used the brass knuckles at that moment.
#2. To set up a new alliance of AJ Styles & Karrion Kross?
Kross appeared at the ringside during the Styles vs Paul match when the Maverick tried to use his cheap tactics of using brass knuckles. Karrion Kross stopped Logan's friend and caught him red-handed.
This shows that the former NXT Champion doesn't have any wrong motives for the former World Champion and is merely showing his care for him. So, with Styles' loss, it appears like the promotion may be moving toward a new alliance between the Phenomenal One and Kross.
The veteran could feel he may need the RAW star to rejuvenate his career in WWE, leading to their faction formation on the red brand.
#1. To put over Logan Paul at WWE WrestleMania 41
Logan Paul is a part-timer in WWE but has already wrestled against major stars like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and more. One reason why the Maverick defeated AJ Styles at Showcase of the Immortals is that WWE has plans to put over the YouTuber.
By defeating a veteran like Styles, Logan surely has great momentum. So, next time, whenever he appears on television, Triple H can book him in the major storyline or might give him a mid-card title shot.
