WWE Money in the Bank 2019: 5 reasons why Seth Rollins retained the Universal Championship

#2 AJ Styles now respects Seth Rollins

AJ Styles has grown to respect Seth Rollins

AJ Styles has been talking about how Rollins doesn't have what it takes to beat him over the past few weeks whilst building up to their match and has proven that he has no respect for the star that he defeated 13 years ago when he was an up and coming talent on the independent circuit.

Styles shook Rollins' hand after the match and showed that despite the build up over the past few weeks, he now has his respect. Styles threw everything he had at Rollins and even countered the Curb Stomp into the Styles Clash but this still wasn't enough for the former WWE Champion to keep Rollins down for a three count.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Styles had no idea what Rollins was about before tonight and now he's earned his respect, which is something that Rollins was searching for.

It's ALL about the #UniversalTitle right now at #MITB.Who ya got: @WWERollins or @AJStylesOrg?! pic.twitter.com/8nn4sfcM9U
