After much talk and rumor, the anticipated AJ Styles DVD and Blu-ray are on the way. WrestlingDVDNetwork.com is reporting that ‘AJ Styles: Most Phenomenal Matches’ will be on the shelves just in time for Christmas.
The official press release had this to say:
“Since joining WWE in 2016, AJ Styles has truly become “The Face That Runs the Place” on SmackDown Live, impressing audiences with unbelievable athleticism and undeniable fortitude.
“For the first time ever, WWE Home Video collects AJ Styles’ most phenomenal matchups from his first two years in WWE featuring unforgettable bouts with John Cena, Chris Jericho, Shane McMahon, Kevin Owens and more.”
Originally thought to be a documentary with subsequent battles, it has now come to light that the product will be a match compilation only. It’s unknown if Styles will provide comments on each bout prior to their viewing.
For those interested in the contests, there are heavy rumors that an unseen brawl with Kevin Owens for the WWE United States Championship from Madison Square Garden in 2017 is slated for inclusion. This is the night the ‘Phenomenal One’ dethroned the Canadian. As of today, WrestleTalk can confirm only five clashes have been announced. These are:
- AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho (WrestleMania 32 – April 3, 2016)
- AJ Styles vs. Dean Ambrose – WWE Championship Match (Backlash – September 11, 2016)
- AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon (WrestleMania 33 – April 2, 2017)
- AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal – WWE Championship Match (SmackDown Live – November 7, 2017)
- AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura – WWE Championship Match (WrestleMania 34 – April 8, 2018)
Whilst the majority are worthy inclusions, many, including your writer, hope that the release won’t be packed with WWE only scraps and material we can already access on the WWE Network. Following the wealth of TNA footage included in the excellent WWE 24: The Hardy Boyz: Woken documentary, there’s no reason at all the company couldn’t strike some type of deal to include Styles’ career from the now IMPACT Wrestling. It would be a disservice and disappointment for a lot of these to be absent.
‘AJ Styles: Most Phenomenal Matches’ is available in the United Kingdom on November 5 and in America on November 6.
Let us know your thoughts on this latest release from WWE Home Video, matches you’d like to see included, and whether or not you’ll be buying this if it includes footage only available on the WWE Network. You can get in touch with all your favorite WrestleTalk writers on Twitter and Discord.
