AJ Styles Moves To WWE Raw Following Royal Rumble Return

AJ Styles has not been a regular on Monday Night Raw since 2022 but the two-time WWE Champion is heading back to Monday nights.

Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced on the February 3 episode that Styles had joined the red brand as part of the transfer window, with Pearce revealing he secured the move before the window slammed shut at the Royal Rumble.

AJ Styles returned to WWE during the Men's Royal Rumble on Saturday night, making his return with his former entrance theme at number 21. Styles had an impressive showing in the match before being eliminated by Logan Paul, who pulled Styles down to the floor as he attempted a Phenomenal Forearm.

The WWE transfer window is now shut. WWE carried out the following moves:

Raw to SmackDown:

• Damian Priest
• The Miz
• Braun Strowman
• Zelina Vega
• The Wyatt Sicks

SmackDown to Raw: 

• Bayley
