AJ Styles has been breathing down Dominik Mysterio’s neck for the past few months. Their feud has now reached a point where the reigning Intercontinental Champion is accusing the veteran of harassing him. Mysterio posted a screenshot of Styles in his DMs on Instagram Stories. The Phenomenal One had sent Dirty Dom a childhood photo of him.
Styles hilariously wrote that he was going to whoop Mysterio’s a*s. In response, Dirty Dom tagged Mr. TNA and urged the 48-year-old to leave him alone. The San Diego native called it harassment and even demanded the FBI investigate how Styles got his number. Netizens were blown away by the exchange, which aimed to advance the storyline between Mysterio and Styles.
For the unversed, Rey Mysterio’s son had been avoiding the former OC leader for weeks, claiming he wasn’t medically cleared to compete. Styles has long been overdue for a shot at the IC title, which is why The Georgia Pitbull is leaving no stone unturned to make life difficult for the Judgment Day member. The two have recently been involved in several comedic backstage segments.
A couple of weeks ago, on Raw, Styles dramatically pulled out his reading glasses to read Mysterio’s doctor’s note. Last Monday, Adam Pearce informed Liv Morgan’s boyfriend that WWE’s medical staff would re-evaluate him to determine his physical condition. If the doctors clear Dirty Dom to compete, he’ll defend his IC title against Styles at SummerSlam.
AJ Styles Recently Made His Return to TNA at the 21st Slammiversary
On Sunday night, AJ Styles returned to the territory that truly put him on the map—TNA. The promotion celebrated its 23rd anniversary by hosting a record-breaking Slammiversary event at the UBS Arena in Belmont Park. It drew over 7,600 fans and became the highest-attended TNA show in North America.
The major highlight of the night was a special appearance by Styles, his first in the company since 2013. The Phenomenal One entered to his old theme song, ‘Get Ready to Fly,’ which he admittedly hates, but the crowd loved.
Styles interrupted Leon Slater, who had just defeated Moose to win the TNA X-Division Championship. At 20 years old, Slater became the youngest champion in the company’s history. Styles congratulated him and called Slater the future of TNA’s X-Division. The current Raw star said it’s time for Slater to build his legacy.
