Amid his Universal Championship run that lasted for over 500 days, Road Dogg revealed why AJ Styles was brought up to lose to The Beast at Survivor Series. Around late 2017, a little buzz began about a potential Brock Lesnar vs. Jinder Mahal (then-WWE Champion) match. However, that didn't happen as the match never took place. Instead, AJ Styles, who debuted in 2016, defeated the latter for the WWE Title ahead of Survivor Series and faced The Beast in a Champion vs. Champion match instead. Road Dogg admitted on The Wrestling Outlaws that the decision to have AJ Styles win the WWE Championship was for "a cool moment," as well as making him a credible opponent for Lesnar to beat: "I think from a buzz standpoint, it was a cool moment to have. AJ [Styles] had just gotten there not too long ago. And I think it was a cool moment for 'okay like Brock [Lesnar] can beat this guy."

The magical night in Manchester would set up a dream Survivor Series clash, where Lesnar would arguably have one of the best matches of his WWE career in the last decade. To date, the Lesnar vs. Styles match is fondly remembered amid the former's record 500+ day reign as Universal Champion - a record that wouldn't be surpassed until Roman Reigns crossed 700 days recently.
