What's the story?

In case you didn't know...

Styles and Bryan have had an engaging rivalry, with both Superstars giving or taking no quarter. Bryan won the WWE title in November after defeating Styles at a SmackDown show. The WWE Champion then went on to face Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, in a champion vs champion match.

Styles would get his rematch at the TLC PPV, but Bryan won the match and kept his title. The feud has taken a new turn with Bryan embracing an environmentalist, anti-capitalism gimmick that has surprised many.

Meanwhile, Styles was riled up by Vince McMahon on SmackDown after the WWE Chairman slapped the former WWE Champion which has led to Styles showing his devilish side.

The heart of the matter

In a Live Event show in Omaha, Nebraska, AJ Styles faced off against Daniel Bryan in a WWE Championship match, and during the match the middle ring rope broke.

The match continued, with Styles cutting a promo about Omaha steaks, and then returning to the ring to use the ring rope as a whip! Bryan too used the broken rope to inflict damage to Styles' body.

The middle rope snapped shortly after the match started, but shoutout to @AJStylesOrg & @WWEDanielBryan for still putting on a barn burner of a match! 🔥#WWEOmaha #WWELive pic.twitter.com/fULtHfBq3p
