Ever since moving to WWE RAW last October, AJ Styles has truly been, no pun intended, phenomenal. The two-time WWE Champion has been nearly unstoppable with the gigantic Omos by his side. So far, his 2021 record is 3-0.

Lately, Styles has been using his talent to keep other Superstars out of the WWE Royal Rumble match. First, he foiled Drew Gulak's plans of entering the 30-man bout. Then, on the latest episode of WWE RAW, Styles took on Ricochet in a bout that had the latter's Royal Rumble spot at stake.

There was no doubt that a match featuring AJ Styles and Ricochet would turn out to be amazing. And to top it off, the bout featured one of the best versions of the "Styles Clash" that the WWE Universe has seen in recent years.

Now that is damn cool. One of the most inventive ways into a Styles Clash I’ve ever seen 🔥I retain a lot of love for Ricochet and his talents. pic.twitter.com/QuqCySsnsl
