AJ Styles Locked Out Of Car After SmackDown Live, Saved By Fire Department (VIDEO)

The WWE World Champion AJ Styles was faced with one of his toughest challenges yet Tuesday night after Smackdown Live … being locked out of his rental car — and Pro Wrestling Sheet got footage of the fire department making a run in to save the day.

It all went down outside of the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey when Styles realized his keys were stuck in the car as he attempted to leave the arena.

Much to his dismay, the champ was surrounded by around 50 fans as he made unsuccessful attempts to get back into the car himself using a coat hanger.

Luckily — after struggling for close to an hour — the Newark Fire Department showed up with a slim jim and helped the Phenomenal One get back into his ride. We’re told fans watching were jokingly asking AJ if this was the setup for an episode of Swerved.

It clearly wasn’t though, since his keys ended up being in the trunk.

Best part of the video is Styles taking a picture with the guy who unlocks his ride.
