It was reported last month that the reason AJ Styles was recently moved to SmackDown was because he wasn’t a fan of former RAW Executive Director Paul Heyman. However, it now seems that this was not the case at all.
According to Dave Meltzer of F4W Online, Styles’ main problem was due to the release of his close friends Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Styles took to his Mixer streaming channel yesterday where he ripped into Heyman and talked about the departures of his good friends.
“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].”
