AJ Styles Says Someone in WWE Is Trying to Push Him Out

AJ Styles didn’t hold back during the commercial break on the September 8, 2025 episode of WWE RAW. Just before his match against El Grande Americano, the Phenomenal One grabbed a mic and cut a fiery promo that fans in the arena—and only those watching the uncut feed—got to witness.

In the rare off-air moment, Styles poured out frustration over being left without any backup, suggesting that someone in WWE has deliberately isolated him.

“For the first time in my career, I’ve got no one watching my back. Gallows, Anderson, they’re not here. Michin, she’s on SmackDown. It’s like someone orchestrated a way for me not to win anymore, not to have help. I’ll let you make your own conclusions.”

Then he hinted that what he was saying might be considered too real for TV:

“By the way, we are here right now and all over the world, but to rest everybody, is it a commercial break. I’m telling you something that you’re probably not supposed to hear, but somebody doesn’t want me here.”

As for the match, Styles didn’t just want a win—he wanted to make a statement on behalf of anyone who’s ever been pushed out:

“What we’re going to do is you’re going to beat the piss out of Grande Americano tonight so that the person that doesn’t want me here anymore can feel a little bit of his pain and mine also.”

Styles has never been shy about calling things like he sees them, but this was something different. Raw emotion, live mic, commercial break—everything screamed real tension, not storyline fluff.

Is AJ Styles being set up to fail from within WWE? Or is he just letting off steam during a tough stretch? Drop your take in the comments—we want to know what you think.
