AJ Styles Refuses to Sign AEW Replica Title at WWE Live Event

AJ Styles might be wrapping up his wrestling career in 2026, but he’s definitely not jumping ship before then.

At a recent WWE live event in Tampa, Styles had a memorable moment with a fan who brought an AEW World Championship replica belt and tried to get The Phenomenal One to sign it. As seen in newly surfaced fan footage on TikTok, Styles took a look at the title, cracked a smile, and directly named the Young Bucks, admitting that he loved them but couldn’t sign the belt.

“Is this on? Like it can video tape? Nick, Matt, I love ya! Can’t sign this, though.”

The moment drew a huge reaction from the crowd, with fans cheering at both the unexpected Young Bucks name-drop and AJ’s respectful but clear boundary. Styles showed love to his longtime friends but made it known—he’s staying loyal to WWE as his retirement approaches.

This all comes as WWE gears up for Styles’ 2026 retirement tour—a farewell year that’s expected to be filled with memorable matches, emotional goodbyes, and legendary moments just like this.

So while fans can expect more up-close interactions with Styles in the coming months, don’t expect him to cross any promotional lines—even if he’s got love for the Bucks.
