Is this getting real?

In what was one hell of a reunion, WWE did put their best foot forward in keeping tabs on their current storylines whilst blending it effectively with nostalgia.

From John Cena's epic confrontation with The Usos to Bray Wyatt's sadistic attack on Mick Foley, everything was rightly placed on this week's Monday Night Raw.

Furthermore, legions of fans felt the emotion running through their veins during Stone Cold's address to the WWE Universe and his fellow peers.

Though the show did everything it could to keep us invested, it was AJ Styles' confrontation with Triple H and Shawn Michaels that stood out the most to me.

Styles, who is now working as a full-fledged heel with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows did share an interesting segment with D-Generation X and Seth Rollins.

While the fans would have loved to see a conclusion for Styles vs. Rollins, what transpired later was noticed by a select few.

The Phenomenal One mentioning NXT during this intense confrontation has the world guessing. Why did he do it? Is something genuinely in the works? Let's find out.

Here are the 4 reasons why A.J. Styles mentioned NXT on Monday Night Raw.


#1. Adding an element of realism to the confrontation

With Paul Heyman now working full-time as the Executive Director of Monday Night Raw, the Mad Scientist of Professional Wrestling is endorsing the idea of having continuity in his narrative.

There's no denying that the fans have been disappointed with the way storylines have panned out on screens, but Heyman's inclusion has ignited a bit of realism to our screens.

Considering Triple H and Shawn Michaels are pushing the envelope to create the next generation of superstars with NXT, it would be nice to see The Original Club wanting to pick a fight with the future.

Even though wrestling fans would want to see fantasy warfare come to life, Styles mentioning NXT could just have been a way to add some authenticity to the show.
