WWE superstar AJ Styles participated in a live signing event with Fanatics, where he discussed various topics, including why he stayed on the top rope for an extended period during a 2016 episode of WWE SmackDown.

Styles said, โ€œI donโ€™t know why I did that, Iโ€™m gonna be honest. I donโ€™t know. I was feeling good. Not exactly the way youโ€™d think, but I thought it would be funny if I stayed there the whole time. I donโ€™t know that John [Cena] was happy that I stayed there, but I did. I was just having fun. Thatโ€™s what weโ€™re supposed to do. What good is wrestling if youโ€™re not having fun? I was having fun so I stayed there and let everybody enjoy it. No good reason. Just did.โ€
