AJ Styles’ real-life best friends shared their reactions to his recent WWE pipebomb on Monday Night RAW.
During last night’s episode of the red brand, Styles shocked everyone by openly speaking up about his bookings in recent times. What stood out in the pipebomb-esque promo was him mentioning former O.C. members, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, and Michin (fka Mia Yim), who are all his close friends.
As stated by The Phenomenal One, Michin is a part of the SmackDown roster, while Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were released from the company earlier this year.
As was expected, this act garnered a lot of attention online with Gallows and the former Mia Yim sharing their thoughts on the promo.

Luke Gallows took to his X/Twitter to react to his O.C. stablemate’s promo, hilariously stating that he should be paid every time his name is mentioned in a pipebomb.
His tweet read:
I’m going to start charging royalties for #pipebombs 😂.”
I'm going to start charging royalties for #pipebombs 😂

Michin seemed to share AJ Styles’ frustration and vouched to always have his back while quoting a tweet that showed the clip of The Phenomenal One namedropping her.
She wrote:
I’ll have your back forever, Uncle Al 😭😭@AJStylesOrg.”

Styles has been close friends with Gallows and Anderson for a long time. He teamed up with them first when he started his stint in NJPW, where he replaced Finn Balor as the leader of the Bullet Club. The trio reunited in WWE in 2016 and were known as The Club (O.C.).
They had a reunion once again in 2019, but were disbanded in 2020 when Gallows and Anderson were released from the company. The trio finally reunited in 2024 and added Michin to their ranks to help Styles in his feud with The Judgment Day.
AJ Styles is currently in a feud with Dominik Mysterio, where in their last encounter, the 48-year-old came up short of winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
