Several weeks ago, there was a rumor floating around that AJ Styles was moved to Smackdown because he was getting bullied in the RAW locker room. There were also rumors that Styles did not get along with Paul Heyman and blamed him for Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson getting released by WWE.
Styles recently took to his Mixer account to address all of these rumors.
Here is what he said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quote below):
“There were some rumors going around that AJ Styles left RAW to go to SmackDown because he was being bullied. That may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I mean, I’m a grown man. If there were some bullying going on that upset me enough to leave RAW and go to SmackDown, I would handle it. And whether I got my tail beat or not, I’d still handle it. I’m a grown man. So, I’ll just throw that out there.
“When it came to the rumor about Paul Heyman and being upset with him because he didn’t take up for Gallows and Anderson before they got released, that’s not what it was at all. It’s not even close. I’ll give you a snippet of what me, Gallows, and Anderson already know – [Paul Heyman] is a liar. Now you know; I’m sure you’ve heard that before if you go back to his ECW days, you’ll hear that. He’s a boldface liar. So, that’s my take on that. I will let Gallows and Anderson [add to it].”
