We’re only a few weeks away from the annual WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view, and the card is starting to come together. It’s already been announced that Brock Lesnar will defend his title against Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe in a fatal 4-way, and Naomi will be defending her title against Natalya, with Alexa Bliss defending against Bayley.
The rest of the matches should start coming together soon, and fans are wondering where the current WWE United States Champion AJ Styles will land on the card. How AJ will fit into the SummerSlam picture remains to be seen, but one picture AJ Styles won’t be added to anytime soon is the SummerSlam poster.
AJ Styles has had some bad luck with posters for big WWE events, as he’s often pushed to the back of the poster, and this time around he was left off the SummerSlam poster completely.
A fan decided to ask AJ Styles how he feels about being left off the poster given the fact that he’s a champion in WWE.
@AJStylesOrg why does this happen when your one of the champions heading into the Biggest Party of the Summer and your not on the poster? pic.twitter.com/Dwri6E5jV3

AJ just responded by saying the poster is set up to sell tickets.
It's an advertisement that fans will buy tickets for. https://t.co/9oeOrvYML0

Even though there’s a long list of reasons why AJ Styles should probably be included in this poster, the US Champion doesn’t seem to mind. Now if he ends up getting left off the card, then AJ Styles fans will definitely have a reason to be upset.
