AJ Styles’ appearance last night on “WWE Raw” was a last minute decision made. Now, according to PWInsider, that call came from Vince McMahon

Portions of “Raw” were altered to include Styles in the opening segment, and his teaming with the new World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in the main event was at McMahon’s request. In the main event, Styles and Rollins defeated The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and Damian Priest. The Judgment Day had interrupted Styles congratulating Rollins to start the show, setting up the match for later in the night. 

Over the weekend at Night of Champions, Rollins defeated AJ Styles to hold the new title. Styles was drafted as a member of the “SmackDown” roster during this year’s WWE Draft.
