Kenny Omega has revealed an interesting detail regarding AJ Styles' win over Hiroshi Tanahashi six years ago at New Japan Pro Wrestling. As a former NJPW star, Omega was able to share some insider knowledge of what happened after the match.

Kenny Omega and AJ Styles are two of the most well-known wrestlers in the world. Omega is the reigning AEW World Champion, and Styles is a former WWE Champion. Both men have competed all over the world. In a post on his Twitter page, Omega revealed a surprising statistic about Styles' match with Hiroshi Tanahashi.

In the post, Omega reflected on Styles' win over "The Ace" from The New Beginning in Osaka 2015, and he stated that many stitches were required after the match. Omega called it a bloodbath to express the brutality of the bout.

On the night when the Phenomenal One won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, the Good Brothers also won the IWGP Tag Team Championship. The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega won their respective title matches, too.

AJ Styles will challenge for the WWE Championship at the upcoming Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. The two-time WWE Champion Styles will face five other men, including the reigning champion Drew McIntyre.

After failing to win the Royal Rumble Match this year, Styles will aim to win the title at Elimination Chamber so he can enter WrestleMania with the gold around his waist.

Though Styles was unsuccessful in winning the title from McIntyre at WWE TLC in 2020, he has been one of the most impressive stars on RAW ever since he was drafted into the red brand last year.

Meanwhile, his former Bullet Club stablemate, Kenny Omega, is currently focusing on his reign as the AEW World Champion. He has reunited with the Young Bucks and the Good Brothers and is having a remarkable run as one of the company's biggest stars.
