AJ Styles has spoken out after seeing Frankie Kazarian break out one of his signature moves during Bound For Glory 2025.
The October 12 pay-per-view from the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts, delivered plenty of big moments, including the unprecedented ending of the Call Your Shot gauntlet match where Kazarian and Nic Nemeth were declared co-winners.
During the gauntlet, Kazarian caught Steve Maclin with a Pele Kick that instantly reminded fans of Styles classic offense. The Phenomenal One noticed the move and dropped his reaction on Twitter with a short but pointed response,
Kazarian followed up the Pele Kick with an Angel Wings, the trademark of Christopher Daniels. The timing drew even more attention since Styles himself had used an Angel Wings against John Cena at WWE Crown Jewel in their own throwback-heavy clash.
While Bound For Glorys main event saw Mike Santana defeat Trick Williams to win the TNA World Championship, Kazarians decision to pull out a move made famous by Styles added an extra layer of buzz to the show. Styles reaction made it clear that he recognized the moment and appreciated the nod to his arsenal.
Do you think Frankie Kazarian using AJ Styles move was a respectful nod, or should Styles step back into a TNA ring one day to show how its really done? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
