After more than 15 years away from WWE, popular wrestling figure Jimmy Wang Yang has expressed interest in returning to the company for a final match against AJ Styles. Yang revealed that if he were to come back, he would want Styles as his opponent for this career-defining bout. His choice centers around a desire to settle an undefeated record against Styles, spanning their past encounters in other wrestling organizations.
In a recent interview with Wentworth Bros Entertainment, Yang explained that he has never been defeated by AJ Styles, including during their time in WCW and TNA. Additionally, the two never crossed paths inside WWE as they were not part of the promotion simultaneously. Yang shared that he feels close to Styles personally and would want their final match to “finish the story” they have between them.
“Definitely AJ, because we have such history. I’m actually undefeated against AJ, that’s another trivia question for you, he’s never beat the Yang. WCW, TNA, wherever else, but never in WWE. But that’s my boy, my Georgia boy, so that’s who I would like to have like finish the story.”
