The Phenomenal One received a reply from AEW star Mercedes Mone on his post.On last week’s edition of RAW, AJ Styles cut a promo when the show went on a commercial break. The former WWE Champion made some unexpected remarks, stating that no one has his back anymore since his former teammates, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, left the Stamford-based promotion. He even highlighted that someone backstage wants him out of the company, which could be a major reason why he lost to Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio twice recently.Amid rumors of his exit, Styles recently took to X/Twitter to respond to a fan who suggested that his legacy was made in TNA, not in WWE. The Phenomenal One wrote that no company made him into who he is today; instead, he gave credit to his opponents and the time he spent honing his craft inside the squared circle. With this post, AJ Styles seemingly doubled down on his unhappiness with World Wrestling Entertainment by discrediting the company’s role in his illustrious career. However, Styles’ WWE RAW promo and this post could just be part of his current gimmick and storyline.”No one brand made AJ Styles.

I did see the clip, and it was on social media, so I was able to see it. I almost sent AJ a text saying, ‘That was an awesome, awesome interview,’ because it was heartfelt. It reminded me of AJ back in TNA, when it was the homegrown stars kind of premise. That was a big thing for AJ back in the day at TNA. It reminded me of that, which is why I smell a story as opposed to a real issue. Could be wrong.”It remains to be seen what AJ Styles has planned for his future in the pro wrestling world.
