AJ Styles has been one of the most prominent figures in WWE for several years, known for his exceptional in-ring skills and charisma. However, in a recent interaction with a fan at a WWE Live Event, Styles made it clear that he still harbors some resentment towards The Young Bucks, a duo that has often been associated with AEW.
According to eyewitnesses, a fan approached Styles for an autograph, but instead of being asked for a signature, the fan produced a replica AEW World Championship. Styles, seemingly taken aback by the gesture, politely asked the fan if they were a fan of his work. After receiving a positive response, Styles took the title belt and hesitated for a moment before deciding not to sign it.
The moment of hesitation was telling, as it seemed to send a clear message to The Young Bucks, who have been vocal about their disdain for WWE and their preference for working with AEW instead. Styles, who has been a key figure in WWE’s top roster for years, has often been seen as a rival to The Young Bucks, who have built a reputation as one of the top tag teams in the world.
According to a WWE insider, Styles’ decision to decline the fan’s request was not just about the AEW World Championship itself, but also about the symbolism behind it. “AJ has always been a proud WWE Superstar, and this was his way of sending a message to The Young Bucks that he’s not interested in being associated with their promotion,” the insider revealed.
The Young Bucks, who were once part of the Bullet Club in NJPW, have been a thorn in WWE’s side for years, often expressing their dissatisfaction with the company’s creative direction and their treatment of top stars. Styles, who has been a key figure in WWE’s top roster, has often been seen as a rival to The Young Bucks, and this latest incident only serves to fuel the fire.
In a recent interview with ESPN, The Young Bucks’ Matt Jackson spoke about their decision to leave NJPW for AEW, citing creative differences and a desire to be their own bosses. However, their comments were met with skepticism by WWE fans and insiders, who saw it as a thinly veiled attempt to promote AEW and diss WWE.
Styles’ decision to decline the fan’s request has been seen as a bold move by many in the wrestling community, and it’s clear that he’s not afraid to speak his mind. As one WWE Superstar put it, “AJ’s a true WWE Superstar, and he’s not afraid to show his loyalty to the company. This was his way of saying, ‘I’m not interested in being associated with AEW, and I’m proud to be a part of WWE’.”
The incident has also sparked a heated debate among wrestling fans, with some calling for Styles to be more respectful to his peers and others praising him for standing up for WWE. As one fan put it, “AJ’s a legend, and he deserves to be respected. If he doesn’t want to sign an AEW World Championship, that’s his prerogative.”
In the end, it’s clear that Styles’ decision to decline the fan’s request was not just about the AEW World Championship itself, but also about the message he wanted to send to The Young Bucks. As one WWE insider put it, “AJ’s a true WWE Superstar, and he’s not afraid to speak his mind. This was his way of saying, ‘I’m proud to be a part of WWE, and I’m not interested in being associated with AEW’.”
Only time will tell how this latest incident will play out, but one thing is certain: AJ Styles has sent a strong message to The Young Bucks, and it’s clear that he’s not going to back down anytime soon.
