AJ Styles' return to Japan was a bit of 🍃a homecoming for him and he wanted to give Japanese WWE fans a little treat when it came to his ring gear
At a WWE Live Event in Osaka, Japan, Styles paid homage to the Club by wearing a special Club mask. Although the Club was♓n't a stable made in Japan, it is a stable inspired by Japan's Bullet Club of which Styles was a former leader.
Below are some photos and videos of Style♚s wearing the mask.
Styles retained his United States title against Kevin Owens in front of the Osaka crowd in a rematch from their SummerSlam U.S. title match.
For those that aren't aware, after Styles left TNA in 2013, he spent a few years in New Japan Pro Wrestling where he was the leader of the Bullet Club until January 2016. Styles won New Japan's top pri🍌ze, the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, twice during his tꦑime with NJPW. Styles and Bullet Club co-founders Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows left the Japanese promotion for WWE.
Once Stylesꦇ, Gallows and Anderson wereꦬ in WWE, they briefly formed a Bullet Club-esque stable called The Club where they would wear ring gear similar to their Bullet Club gear.
