Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles Announced for WrestleMania 41

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured one new match announced for the card of WrestleMania 41, which takes place on April 19-20 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This new match is a singles match of AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul.

This new match was initially setup following recent weeks shows involving Styles and Paul’s bad blood issues with each other. During tonight’s show, Styles came out to the ring and called out Paul to come out since that is what Paul wanted. This led to Paul coming out to the ring and after some rambling and insults directed at each other and Paul’s insults towards London and London folk, Paul issued a challenge to Styles for a match at WrestleMania 41. Before Styles could answer, Paul attempted to attack Styles only for Styles to block it and the two brawled that spilled to the outside. This brawl ended with Paul laying out Styles after a cheap shot when Styles tried to get back into the ring and stood tall over Styles to end things.
