“It was a long road. I am here in this ring in this company where my name was built. I am the phenomenal AJ styles,” he told the roaring crowd. “There was a time when they said you couldn’t come back. But I am here, and I tell you that the lights are a little brighter here, the crowd is a little stronger here and Leon (Slater), the talent is better than ever.”

It was far from being the only highlight of the night.
