AJ Styles‘ impressive showing against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series received high praise from an unlikely source after the show … his opponent’s advocate, Paul Heyman.

Heyman cut a promo outside of Brock’s locker room in which he spoke from the heart about Styles and said, “If you’re not an AJ Styles fan, you shouldn’t even be watching WWE. He’s everything that Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart and Ric Flair were to their generation and he’s updated it.”

In case you missed it, Styles lost to Brock at Survivor Series following a stellar match.

“He’s evolved their styles to truly be the single most phenomenal in-ring performer I have ever had the honor, and pleasure, of watching up-close.” Heyman continued, “I’ve been doing this my entire life, no one in the ring has ever compared to what I witnessed tonight, when I had the best seat in the house.”

Considering the names dropped and the talent Heyman has worked with, it’s a massive compliment.
