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, “I don’t know why I did that, I’m gonna be honest. I don’t know. I was feeling good. Not exactly the way you’d think, but I thought it would be funny if I stayed there the whole time. I don’t know that John [Cena] was happy that I stayed there, but I did. I was just having fun. That’s what we’re supposed to do. What good is wrestling if you’re not having fun? I was having fun so I stayed there and let everybody enjoy it. No good reason. Just did.”
