AJ Styles declined to sign an AEW title belt during a recent WWE live event, with the moment quickly spreading across social media.

AJ Styles was appearing at a WWE house show in Tampa Florida on December 27 2025 the same night AEW presented its Worlds End pay per view. After the show Styles spent time signing items for fans at ringside. During that interaction a fan handed him an All Elite Wrestling Championship belt.

Styles looked at the title respectfully before politely refusing to sign it while acknowledging the people connected to it.

Nick Jackson Matt Jackson I love ya I can not sign this though

Styles was referencing Nick Jackson and Matt Jackson of The Young Bucks. Styles previously worked closely with the pair during their run together in Bullet Club while competing in NJPW. Today Styles remains an active champion in WWE while The Young Bucks are cornerstone stars in AEW and serve as former executive vice presidents of the company.

Earlier in the evening Styles teamed with Dragon Lee to successfully defend the WWE World Tag Team Titles at the Tampa live event.
