#4. Hope is true: AJ Styles' feelings about Gallows and Anderson's releases

Two-thirds of The OC, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson were released from their WWE contracts in mid-April along with dozens of other Superstars. AJ Styles expressed remorse over the situation, blaming himself for the releases happening.

The truth is that he wasn't at fault at all and many would argue that they were hired and kept around because of AJ Styles. When asked about how Styles felt about the releases, Tom Colohue said that he isn't happy, but brought up the fact that they wanted to leave at one point anyway:

A bit of both. AJ Styles definitely isn't happy that Gallows and Anderson have gone. However, it's worth asking the question - did Gallows and Anderson want to go? Because to my knowledge, they did want to leave and that's why they were on the list of releases anyway because they had already vocalized their preference to leave and given the opportunity, the WWE said, 'okay, if you guys don't want to be here, let's have a conversation about it.'

Colohue also said that Styles is keeping them in the public eye, which will benefit them greatly:

He's essentially keeping them in the public eye, which would be good wherever they are going next. He is not happy that they are no longer there, but that doesn't mean he isn't unhappy to see them go somewhere they might be happier.

We hope this is true because Styles seems to have taken their releases a lot more personally than he should have. Eventually, the acceptance that they'll be in a place where they'll be utilized better is what's best for everyone.
