"It's no longer his time" - Tommy Dreamer does not think two-time WWE Champion should win the Royal Rumble

Tommy Dreamer thinks it is no longer AJ Styles' time.

ECW legend Tommy Dreamer believes AJ Styles' chance to win a Royal Rumble match has now passed the two-time WWE Champion.

The Phenomenal One made his WWE debut six years ago with an impressive performance in the 2016 Men's Rumble match. Many believed that despite his in-ring talent, Styles' best years may have been behind him. However, during his tenure with the WWE, AJ has won the WWE Championship twice; he remains one of the company's top stars.

Speaking on the Sirius XM show Busted Open, wrestling legend Tommy Dreamer argued that Styles' time to win the legendary battle royal is in the past. The veteran highlighted the fact that the former champion has already been with the company for several years, so someone else should win the bout.

"AJ Styles, it's no longer his time," said Dreamer. "He debuted six years ago at the Royal Rumble. AJ is in that AJ mode. He's a credible challenger. (...) The story is no longer about him."

Despite Dreamer's comments, AJ Styles has made a career of proving his doubters wrong. Even if 2022 is not The Phenomonal One's year, Styles can try his luck again in the future.
