According to various reports, WWE is not making a huge deal out of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s statement because his words could have a negative impact on the ongoing "Greatest Wrestler Ever" storyline between Randy Orton and Edge. However, there is little doubt that AJ Styles would have been left feeling immensely proud after hearing Stone Cold Steve Austin’s comments. When AJ Styles made his WWE debut, many thought that Vince McMahon would ruin his character end Styles would end up being a one-season wonder. However, for the past few years, AJ Styles has been among the most consistent wrestlers in WWE.
Honestly, too be AJ Styles right now and hear Edge, Undertaker and Stone Cold say hes "the greatest Wrestler on two legs right now" must be awesome and they're 100% right. He's untouchable when he gets in between the ropes
