AJ Styles Explains Why He Didn’t Like LA Knight WrestleMania Press Brawl

TLDR

AJ Styles revealed on the Phenomenally Retro podcast that his WrestleMania 40 weekend brawl with LA Knight was not planned to escalate the way it did, explaining there wasn't even security ready to break it up because nobody knew things would get physical. Styles said his original plan was to stay in character as a heel and walk away from Knight, but the situation got out of hand when Knight put him in a headlock, which he felt was "not a good idea."
