AJ Styles Declines to Sign AEW Title Belt at WWE Live Event – AJ Styles shared a lighthearted and memorable moment with a fan during a recent WWE live event in Tampa, Florida, when he was presented with an AEW World Championship replica belt for an autograph. The interaction, captured in fan footage that has since circulated on TikTok, quickly became a talking point due to Styles’ reaction and the way he handled the situation.
As seen in the video, Styles examined the replica title, smiled, and addressed the situation directly while acknowledging the camera. Rather than brushing the fan off, Styles chose to inject humor and respect into the moment while making his position clear.
“Is this on? Like it can video tape? Nick, Matt, I love ya! Can’t sign this, though.”
The reference to Nick and Matt Jackson, better known as The Young Bucks, immediately drew a strong response from the live crowd. Fans cheered both the unexpected name-drop and Styles’ professionalism in declining to sign the belt. The moment highlighted Styles’ long-standing friendships within the wrestling industry while reinforcing his current alignment with WWE.
Styles and The Young Bucks share a deep history dating back to their time in TNA and New Japan Pro Wrestling, where they were key figures in Bullet Club. Despite that connection, Styles made it clear that he would not cross promotional lines, even in a casual fan interaction. The exchange was brief but effective, showing respect to all parties without creating any controversy.
The timing of the moment is notable, as WWE continues to prepare for Styles’ 2026 retirement tour. The farewell run is expected to feature special appearances, emotional fan interactions, and celebratory moments reflecting his decades-long career. Encounters like this one demonstrate how Styles is approaching the final chapter of his in-ring career with authenticity and professionalism.
Fans attending WWE live events can likely expect more personal interactions with Styles in the months ahead. However, as this moment in Tampa showed, even with mutual respect and long-standing friendships across promotions, Styles remains firmly committed to WWE as he moves closer to retirement.
