WWE World Champion AJ Styles Locked Out Of Rental Car After Smackdown Show

WWE World Champion AJ Styles Locked Out Of Rental Car After Smackdown Show

Not what the champ wanted!

It's still surreal that AJ Styles is in the WWE as the WWE World Champion. He is quite possibly the best wrestler in the world today but few expected the Phenomenal One, one of the most gifted wrestlers to come from the independent circuit, to sign with the WWE and be treated as a top talent so soon - he became the WWE World Champion in less than a year since signing with the company.

But even the fore-arm throwing grappler can be roped into sticky situations outside of the ring, as was evident after Tuesday's Smackdown show.

Following a cracking main event in which Styles lost out to Dean Ambrose, the 38-year old realised he had left his keys in the boot and was therefore locked out of his rental car.

Pro Wrestling Sheet obtained footage of Styles in the Prudential Center car park in Newark, Jew Jersey, using all sorts of tools to try get into the vehicle, including a coathanger. Styles is said to have tried all sorts of methods for nearly an hour as he looked to force his way in.

However, with the help of security and the fire brigade the door was eventually slipped open and Styles was so appreciative of the individual who opened the door, that he happily poised for a picture with the guy, while fans looked on.

Watch footage of AJ's fiasco here:


If this was Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same situation, we can't help but imagine him dishing out a few stunners and opening up a can of whoop-ass on those around him but fair play to Styles for keeping a cool head.

'The face that nearly didn't get to the next place' may well be AJ's new nickname after this mishap.

What he really needed was 'the Key of Jericho'...
