AJ Styles made his return at the WWE 2025 Royal Rumble PLE, and now fans can expect to see him in action ever Monday Night. During a backstage segment on the February 3rd episode of WWE RAW, Adam Pearce confirmed that Styles is now part of the red brand and will appear on next week’s show.
Styles made his long-awaited return from injury in the Men\'s Royal Rumble match. Entering at #21, he went toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns, John Cena, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins, proving he hadn’t lost a step. As Styles was showing that he\'s still got \'it\' in the ring, his WrestleMania journey hit a roadblock when Logan Paul eliminated him.
Following his Rumble exit, Styles admitted he was embarrassed, saying in a WWE Digital Exclusive, “I don’t know if I’ll ever live that one down.” When interviewer Cathy Kelley pointed out that Paul also eliminated CM Punk, Styles tried to shake it off, responding, “Well, at least I’m not the only one dealing with this humiliation.”
It had been reported before RAW that WWE was considering moving Styles to the red brand. With his move to RAW confirmed, Styles has a fresh roster of opponents to face, including Paul, who moved to the red brand in January 2025. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on AJ Styles now that the former WWE Champion is officially part of the Raw roster.
