A bit harsh to call that a "statement", pretty sure that's just a transcript of what he said when asked about it live on Twitch. Could have been just thinking off the top of his head.

To be honest that was a real nonstatement by AJ. He didn't really say anything.

Yep, pretty safe to say AJ won't be fighting back and helping any union organiser.

To be honest that was a real nonstatement by AJ. He didn't really say anything. It was literally him saying... "I don't know" multiple times. not going to hold him to the fire on that... what I do get out of this is that they didn't apparently tell the workers about it before announcing it.

I don't see how AJ got cucked, it was mainly him saying "I don't know" which should be all you need to know about how WWE does not communicate with their workers, they just do shit and workers are supposed to smile and take it.

I'll cut AJ some slack on that front until he actually says something less noncommittal, but on the other hand we are talking about a guy who spent far too many years of his career tolerating being pushed aside by TNA in favour of Dixie's freshly-released-from-WWE new toys and only called it quits when they lowballed him. At this point rolling over and being a company man must be second nature to him, and as long as he's getting paid well he's not gonna rock the boat.

I don't really want to play devils advocate for the guy because i do think AJ is a bit of a dickhead but for a guy with 4 kids i can understand him being money orientated and not wanting to jeopardize that.

Oh don't get me wrong, I can absolutely understand that frame of mind. It's not a simple black-and-white issue when you take into account providing for one's family. Of course, the fact that AJ is a multimillionaire whose kids will probably never have to work if they choose not to, makes his position a little harder to empathise with compared to performers who work the same schedule but make far, far less.

So looks like Asuka flies in the face of danger. This is her brand new episode since the third party rule became official. I put Asuka with the AJ's and Seth's as loyal company people, but view her differently because she was financially secure coming In to wwe, so literally everything is icing on the cake for her I wouldn't call her loyal. I'd say she is happy and appreciative of being in the wwe. I don't see her being a loyal lap dog who just does what vince says. Especially a since her wwe paycheck is just extra cash.

AJ Styles has 2-4 years left and probably a backstage job if he wants it, he isn't going to make waves at this point of his career.

It's begun.
AJ Styles, Mia Yim, and Dio Maddin are all on break from their channels.

I wouldn't go that far. With 4 kids, unless AJ has some investments that have hit it HUGE, they're gonna have to work. If he only had one kid, maybe not. But 4 is a different story.

This being the hill that the company wants to die on rather than cracking down on the Covid truthers and QAnon quacks is not a good look for them.
