#8 The TRUE WWE debut
A lot of today's younger fans may not realise this, but the Royal Rumble wasn't the first time AJ Styles saw action in a WWE ring. Styles’ first match came against Hurricane Helms, on an old WWF show called "WWF Metal," back in 2002.
While the five-minute contest was mildly entertaining and slightly competitive, The Hurricane came out on top, handing AJ the loss. It's important to note, this match took place way before AJ was even remotely "phenomenal."
