No one was expecting Styles to lose.

After wrestling for probably every single wrestling organisation in America and a prosperous stint in NJPW, AJ Styles finally made his debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble to a humongous reaction from the crowd.

Known for his near-perfect in-ring skills, Styles immediately became one of the biggest faces in the WWE. In order to solidify his position as a performer in WWE, Styles needed a career-defining first feud, and who better than Chris Jericho to have as your first adversary in WWE.

In fact, Jericho was famous for putting over new talent without thinking about his position, as evident from his loss to Fandango at 'Mania 29. With a grudge match scheduled between Styles and Jericho at the Grandest Stage, fans were eager to see their favourite Superstar win his first WrestleMania match. But what transpired that night wasn't exactly what the fans were expecting.

In a surprising turn of events, Chris Jericho pinned Styles' shoulder down on the mat after a code breaker. Right when no one was giving Jericho the slightest of a chance of winning, WWE presented a swerve that broke every die-hard wrestling fan's heart. Even though Styles has gone on to become WWE's main attraction, that one loss to Jericho nearly killed all the expectation that the fans had for Styles in WWE.
