“So I will defend them because I know they’re busting their tail to put on a great show. I’m not gonna bash AEW because those guys are doing the exact same thing. Whatever they’re doing to try to be different and doing all these things. I get it. I’ve been there. So I’m not gonna do that. That’s not what I’m about. To each their own. If you like one and don’t like the other, good. But no reason to just bash because they’re different shows. I’m not gonna do that,” said Styles. (H/T: Fightful)

AJ Styles claims major WWE star is ready to be world champion

WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles recently suggested that LA Knight deserved to become a major champion.

Speaking on his Phenomenally Retro podcast, Styles praised Knight and suggested that The Megastar was ready to capture a major title in the promotion.

“I do hope he (LA Knight) gets to be a world champion. I really think he has earned it. His mic work is pretty freaking awesome, so I’d like to see – He’s a guy that can hold a heavyweight championship, no problem. He’s got the mouth to back it up. I’d like to see it happen. The reality is we’ve got a lot of guys who are getting to that point where time’s coming and it waits for no one. So if we’re going to do something, let’s do it. Let’s get it done. I’d like to see some heavyweight champions that we haven’t seen before.”

Kenny Omega defeated MJF to become the new AEW World Champion this past Wednesday night on Dynamite.
