AJ Styles took a dig at some of the critics after his match against Naomichi Marufuji at NOAH Destination 2024. The star wrestler claimed that some of the Japanese matches have gotten 5-star ratings from people that don't really matter. The Phenomenal One said that the matches are made due to the fans. He felt that it's the fans whose involvement makes the viewing experience worthy. 

AJ Styles said that wrestlers have nothing in their hands to make a match worthy of being a 5-star classic. He felt they there are only means of representation. Styles added that it's the fans who can make or break a match. The Phenomenal One said that the ratings given by the critics are having no impact on the match. He felt what happens in the arena is the only thing that matters.

The WWE Superstar said that the fans always react well to a good match. He felt the chants of "This is Awesome" are the ultimate acknowledgement a wrestler needs to see if their match was good or not. The fans felt it was a dig at some of the critics who rate a match based on their observations and bias. Some of the users pointed out the name of Dave Meltzer.

When will AJ Styles return to WWE?

Styles had a great night at NOAH Destination 2024. It was his first appearance in Japan in more than 8 years. The fans cheered their former star who returned to the company and gave a great performance. The Phenomenal One claimed an impressive win over Naomichi Marufuji and shared a moment of mutual respect by offering a shake hand to the Japanese wrestler.

The fans wondered about the potential return of AJ to WWE. He has been out of action since Clash at the Castle. Given how things are currently going, there is a good chance of him not having a feud with anyone till SummerSlam. Post the PLE, the star wrestler could be back on Smackdown. Till then, the experienced wrestler is likely to get a bit of time away from the ring.
