AJ Styles has hit back at suggestions that he was taking a shot at WWE CCO Triple H in a recent promo on “WWE Raw.”
On the September 8 edition of “Raw,” Styles spoke to the gang ahead of his match against El Grande Americano, where he stated that somebody backstage doesn’t want him in the corporate, with many believing that the person he was referring to was “The Game.” The previous WWE Champion, in an interview with “The Wealthy Eisen Show’s” No-Contest Wrestling podcast, said that there is truth to what he said, but he wasn’t talking about Triple H.
“It was something I used to be attempting to arrange that I do not think goes to occur. So, and it is not necessarily not true, but I’m not talking about Triple H. So, I would like to clear that, but yeah, that is about all I can say about it,” said Styles.
Within the promo, Styles alluded to the departures of the Good Brothers — Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson — who’ve been long-standing partners of his, while Michin, one other star he has been aligned with, has been moved to “WWE SmackDown.” The comments were made during a business break on “Raw,” with “The Phenomenal One” telling fans he would allow them to in on a secret he probably shouldn’t share, that his presence is seemingly not required by some behind the scenes. Reports at the moment had suggested that it might be a storyline related to his contract, which is ready to run out sometime next yr.
While there’s been no indication of whom Styles was referring to, he has previously had a problem with a crucial WWE figure, Paul Heyman, whom he was unhappy with following the departure of Gallows and Anderson in 2020. Styles had then labeled the WWE Hall of Famer a boldface liar during one among his live streams.
