The AJ Styles WWE Title reign has passed 300 days. I thought his first title reign was better and more interesting than this one, but the Joe feud is good. He seems to be wrestling on TV a lot less in the last few months. pic.twitter.com/dAaL7ZfcFs

At Backlash 2016, AJ vanquished then-champion Dean Ambrose, to catch his first of two reigns as champion, before losing the gold to John Cena at the 2017 Royal Rumble. Styles started this 2nd rule as WWE Champion in November 2017, in the wake of crushing Jinder Mahal on a scene of SmackDown Live at the Manchester Arena in England.
Wrestling – WWE Rumors: Kevin Owens Set To Return?

Will AJ Styles Retain His Championship Title?
AJ is set to guard his WWE Championship against his fellow TNA alum Samoa Joe at WWE Hell In A Cell and at WWE Super Show-Down. Hell In A Cell will happen on September 16 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio Texas.
Oh yeah, more than ever. AJ Styles and Samoa Joe NEED a stipulation at #HellInACell. I’ll take anything at this point, even a NO DQ match. It just can’t be a singles match. #SDLive @WWE
