AJ Styles politely declined to autograph a fan’s replica AEW World Championship belt during a WWE live event in Tampa, Florida on Saturday.
Video footage circulated on social media showing the WWE World Tag Team Champion interacting with fans at ringside following his match.
After asking the fan if their camera was recording, Styles briefly held the title before addressing AEW founders Nick and Matt Jackson, saying: “Nick, Matt, I love ya. I can’t sign this, though.”

Styles was teammates with the Jackson brothers in the Bullet Club faction during his tenure in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
The interaction occurred on December 27, the same night as AEW’s Worlds End pay-per-view. Styles had earlier retained his WWE World Tag Team Championships in a match partnering with Dragon Lee.
