AJ Styles made bold entrance with son in classic lowrider, paying subtle homage to late icon Eddie Guerrero

AJ Styles made a statement in his way up to SummerSlam 2025. With his son, Avery Jones, riding shotgun, Styles rolled into MetLife Stadium in a classic lowrider. It was a clear tribute to the late, great Eddie Guerrero.

The moment was powerful, especially considering Styles had already hinted that this could be his final SummerSlam appearance.

Before the bell even rang for the AJ Styles vs Dominik Mysterio matchup, the energy was different. Styles, clad in Latino Heat-inspired gear, embraced nostalgia without stealing the spotlight. "If I’m being honest with you guys, this may be my last SummerSlam," he had told fans during the kickoff show.

"So, I plan on tearing the house down one last time at SummerSlam for you guys."

The match against Dominik Mysterio was action-packed. AJ started strong, crisp and focused, putting on a technical display that reminded fans why his debut match against John Cena in 2016 is still considered one of SummerSlam’s all-time greats.But Dominik was ready to defend his title. Matching Styles move for move, “Dirty” Dom leaned into his Guerrero roots, complete with a slingshot senton and the signature top-turnbuckle fake-out.

The crowd caught on quickly. It was indeed fine storytelling for the fans.

As the match intensified, Mysterio pulled a clever trick straight from Guerrero’s playbook. He removed his boot mid-hold, slipping out of the calf crusher, and nailing Styles behind the ref’s back. One splash later, and the three-count sealed a huge win for the rising Intercontinental Champion.
