Former WWE Champion openly refuses to show up at SmackDown, makes serious demand from GM Nick Aldis

The rivalry between LA Knight and AJ Styles is taking a lot of twists and turns ahead of WrestleMania. After the brutal home invasion attack from The Megastar, Styles has now decided not to attend SmackDown. He sent a stern warning to the GM of Blue Brand, Nick Aldis, on social media.

AJ Styles took to X and recorded a video from his home, saying that he won’t attend unless LA Knight is not banned from the arena. The message was made for SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis. As of now, he hasn’t reacted to The Phenomenal One’s ultimatum. 

WWE revealed that one night before the previous SmackDown, LA Knight invaded AJ Styles‘ home. When he was addressing the WWE Universe from the comfort of his home, he heard an excessive honking. It was none other than The Megastar who wasted no time pummeling the former WWE Champion. Following his arrest, it was confirmed by the commentators that Styles did not press any charges against Knight, and he was later released. 

Here's a thing nick, I'm not gonna be at SmackDown this friday night, as long as LA is there. So make sure that he isn't.

AJ Styles on X

Now, the stakes are higher than ever, with both superstars set to go against each other at WrestleMania. In a match driven by revenge and hate, fans have speculated that a stipulation might be added. It will be interesting to see who finally ends the rivalry standing over his adversary’s body. But before that, the WWE Universe will be excited to know Nick Aldis‘ reaction to Styles’ stern warning. 

Mia Yim sends a message to AJ Styles ahead of SmackDown

AJ Styles’ decision of not coming to SmackDown has surely surprised a lot of people. However, it looks like WWE superstar and Styles’ close friend Mia Yim felt he went a bit overboard this time. She expressed her feelings about his decision on social media.

Michin took X and shared a funny video in which a man is seen saying, ‘You got too much dip on your chip’. What she meant to say was that The Phenomenal One went too far with his warning. Even though the former WWE Champion was serious with his message, Yim lightened the mood with a funny video.

Styles recently decided to leave the group and fly alone, leaving Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and Mia Yim behind. Now, with the duo of Anderson and Gallows going to NXT to win the tag titles, Mia has to find her way to the top all alone.
