AJ Styles’ first feud since Gunther’s retirement has been officially confirmed, and it happened to be The Phenomenal One’s tag team partners, who were humiliated by a vicious attack by The Ring General on RAW.

It should come as no surprise to you that Gunther not only came out to the music of AJ Styles, but also posted a large picture on Titantron calling him a “professional killer.” It’s a nickname he’s always been proud of, and now he’s adding Styles to the list of careers he’s ended following Goldberg and John Cena (the latter of whom is retiring). Regardless, the Ring General decided to taunt the crowd and brag a bit, but he was quickly interrupted. AJ Styles“Former doubles partner Lee Long.

Dragon Lee came out and started attacking Gunther, but unfortunately for the man who last held the title with Styles, his night would end with a rear-naked choke as he was eliminated. It looked like he was going to go out and defeat Hitman, but that didn’t happen.

As things stand, it looks like Styles’ first fight after Ring General will be against Dragon Lee. This could very well be a TV fight that would only happen on raw. As for what the Austrian’s road to WrestleMania will look like, it’ll be interesting to see. This was his second Royal Rumble runner-up finish in four editions. The first time it was Cody Rhodes who led him to victory, and this time it was OTC’s Roman Reigns.

Either way, Li Long was unsuccessful. It will be interesting to see what the two-time World Heavyweight Champion’s road to WrestleMania looks like.
