Michin: AJ Styles Is Going Through His Evil Phase, The OC Will Get Through This

Michin says AJ Styles is going through a phase, but like all familes, The O.C. will get through it.

The OC reunited on the December 22 episode of WWE SmackDown, as Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson returned. However, AJ Styles gave his stablemates the cold shoulder, and the former WWE Champion has been displaying his dark side in recent weeks.

Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Michin was asked to comment on where The O.C. stands, given the apparent tension following Styles' return.

"I know AJ is going through some evil ways. He’s going through his evil phase, but families go through up and down, but at the end of the day, we’re family, and I know we’re gonna get through this, and I just hope that, at the end of it, we all become stronger and more in sync with each other. It’s a roller coaster, we’re going through our lows right now, but I know we’ll be coming back stronger together," Michin said.

AJ Styles will challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WWE Royal Rumble. More information is available here.
