Last year I wasn’t a favorite to win, and you know what I did, I defied the odds and I won the Royal Rumble in 2020,” Charlotte said in a backstage interview. “That’s why I’m going to declare myself for the 2021 Royal Rumble, and defy the odds again.”

Styles made his debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble. A year later he was defending the WWE Championship against John Cena at the same event. This will only be his third appearance in the 30-man countdown battle royal.

His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
