AJ Styles is shutting down the drama. After fans lit up social media accusing The Phenomenal One of stealing a move from the Young Bucks during the December 1st episode of WWE Raw, Styles has officially responded and hes not holding back.
The controversy kicked off after AJ Styles and Dragon Lee pulled off a slick slingshot-style maneuver on The New Day, leading directly into a brutal Styles Clash. The combo was eerily similar to a move frequently used by the Young Bucks where one Buck launches the opponent for the other to finish with a Powerbomb. The only difference? Styles and Lee ended theirs with a Styles Clash.
One fan on Twitter posted both clips side by side, implying the WWE duo copied the AEW teams signature tag move.
AJ Styles addressed the comparison and made it clear he wasnt here for the ownership debate:
A second fan chimed in, suggesting that it wasnt about theft just about paying homage to his former Bullet Club stablemates.
AJ came back with a line that ended the conversation cold:
No drama, no feud, just a firm reminder that pro wrestling has always been about reinvention, not ownership. Styles made it clear he has respect for the business but nobody owns a move, no matter how flashy or familiar.
With Styles squashing the controversy and bringing it back to what matters putting on a show the debate might just fizzle out. Or not. Either way, The Phenomenal One isnt losing sleep over it.
