During a recent Twitch stream, AJ Styles took some time off from playing games to interact with his fans. There, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion opened up on a range of subjects, including Roman Reigns’ much-awaited heel turn and Shane McMahon possibly taking over WWE RAW. While talking about The Big Dog working with Paul Heyman, AJ Styles said that it's surprising to see Roman Reigns work with Paul Heyman as Heyman was the advocate of Brock Lesnar, who Reigns feuded with in the past. AJ Styles claimed that he does not know where WWE is going with Roman Reigns, but definitely wants to see what Reigns does under Heyman’s management.

"Is Brock done? Are we not going to see him anymore? Is his contract up? I don't know. I hear the rumors just like you guys. Everyone always assumes that we know what's going on, but that's rarely ever the case," said AJ Styles on his Twitch stream.
