WWE Rumor Roundup - Superstar has not agreed to return, Vince McMahon confused about Roman Reigns, AJ Styles unhappy - 8th May 2020

#3. AJ Styles is not happy about the WWE releases of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson

AJ Styles returned on the recent episode of Monday Night RAW and while The Phenomenal One still sported OC gear, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson weren't by his side.

Gallows and Anderson were released from the WWE recently and as reported by Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue, AJ Styles is naturally not happy that Gallows and Anderson are no longer in the company.

Tom also added that Gallows and Anderson wanted to leave and they made their intentions known to the WWE management - who added them to the list of releases.

Tom highlighted that the fans can still purchase OC merch featuring the former WWE Superstars on the WWE Shop while adding that Styles is probably trying to keep the Good Brothers in the public eye until they sign up with another promotion.

It was also added that while Styles isn't pleased by the releases, he realizes that Gallows and Anderson would probably be happier outside the WWE.

Tom explained:

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.'

At the same time, if I go on to the WWE Shop right now, I can buy an OC hat, I can buy an OC T-shirt. AJ Styles does not have that much merch but he has a lot of Club merch. So really that's the only representation he has for himself but he still gets to represent his boys. I have to ask this question though. Whenever those T-Shirts are sold, and this may be why he's representing and hyping it up, do Gallows and Anderson still get paid the merch rights? 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.
