AJ Styles recently shared insights into his dynamic with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson within WWE, particularly following their transition to the NXT brand after their stint together in The O.C. on SmackDown, alongside Mia Yim.
Gallows and Anderson’s move has left a noticeable absence of their camaraderie on-screen, with the last interaction involving Styles delivering a backstage slap to Anderson, signifying a potential shift in their relationship dynamics as Styles focuses more on his individual endeavors.
During an appearance on the Johnjay & Rich: After Words podcast, Styles delved into the state of his bond with The Good Brothers, expressing a sense of uncertainty about their future together.
Reflecting on the incident with Anderson, Styles remarked, “The last time Anderson and Gallows, we were in the locker room together I kind of slapped Karl across the face.
We’re just gonna have to see where this relationship goes, we’ll figure it out. We’ve spent a long time together on the road, maybe that doesn’t break it, so we’ll find out.”
In a surprising turn of events at WWE Elimination Chamber, Styles targeted LA Knight with a steel chair during the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, despite not being an official participant.

In the same podcast interview, Styles attributed his absence from the match to Knight’s interference, expressing disdain towards him and asserting his retribution, stating,
“He’s the reason why I wasn’t in the Elimination [Chamber match] in the first place. For some reason, he needed to be on their commentary team… You know what, he’s a turd and he had to pay the price for putting his – getting in my business. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that [LA Knight is a piece of human garbage].”
As anticipation builds for WWE SmackDown, the altercation between Styles and Knight promises intrigue.
With the animosity between them escalating, the possibility of a showdown at WrestleMania looms, leaving fans eager to witness the potential clash between AJ Styles and LA Knight on the grand stage.
