AJ Styles’ unexpected appearance on WWE Raw was reportedly a decision made directly by Vince McMahon. Styles, who had already returned home on Sunday, was called back to Albany for the show in a last-minute change.
McMahon is said to have personally requested Styles’ return to join forces with Seth Rollins in the main event match. Aside from this sudden alteration, the rest of the show went as initially planned, resulting in a relatively straightforward night for creative and production.
McMahon’s move highlights the ever-changing nature of WWE programming, where last-minute adjustments can inject surprise and excitement for the audience. It also underscores McMahon’s hands-on approach in steering the narrative and direction of WWE’s flagship show.
