AJ Styles’ Shocking RAW Pipebomb Isn’t About Triple H—WWE Legend Claims It’s Leading to Something Even Bigger!
AJ Styles sent shockwaves through WWE RAW last week when he went off-script during a commercial break—but according to a wrestling legend, his fiery rant might have had a much bigger purpose than fans realize.
AJ Styles Blames WWE for Leaving Him Without Backup
The Phenomenal One didn’t hold back, blasting WWE for dismantling his old faction, The OC. With Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson taken out and Michin moved to SmackDown, Styles raged that he’s been left all alone—and claimed that “somebody doesn’t want him” in WWE anymore.
Fans immediately speculated that Triple H, now the company’s CCO, might be behind Styles’ struggles. Even AJ’s own son chimed in, suggesting his father’s booking had been sabotaged.
Bully Ray Drops a Bombshell: “This Is About TNA, Not Triple H”
But WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray sees things differently. Speaking on the Busted Open Podcast, the legend argued that Styles’ tirade had nothing to do with Triple H—and everything to do with TNA Wrestling.

“If I had a gun to my head and had to bet, I’d say this is about TNA. AJ Styles was the face of that company. He built it. I’d love to see him inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame and maybe even finish his career with one final run there.”
With WWE and TNA’s working relationship heating up, the idea of AJ closing his career where it all began doesn’t seem impossible.
The Aftermath: Styles Scores a Win, Thanks to a Surprise Ally
After his outburst, Styles squared off against El Grande Americano—the same man who cost him the Intercontinental Championship the week prior. Just when things looked bleak, Dragon Lee showed up to distract Americano, setting up Styles for a crushing Styles Clash victory.
Gallows and Michin React Online
After being name-dropped in Styles’ promo, his former OC allies couldn’t resist reacting on social media. Gallows joked that WWE should start “charging for pipe bombs,” while Michin simply voiced her support for her “brother.”
What’s Next for AJ Styles?
At 48, Styles has openly admitted he doesn’t plan to wrestle past 50, which means his current run could very well be his last. Whether his RAW outburst was planting seeds for a WWE storyline or teasing a blockbuster TNA return, one thing is certain—AJ Styles isn’t done making headlines.
