At WWE SummerSlam 2025 next month, AJ Styles will attempt to win the Intercontinental Championship for the second time in his WWE career. He is set to face Dominik Mysterio, a member of the faction The Judgment Day, in a high-stakes matchup for the title.
Given the presence of Dominik’s Judgment Day teammates who might interfere, Styles could be looking for support to secure victory. His former stablemates from the Original Club (OC), The Good Brothers—Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows—are rumored to potentially return to WWE and assist him during this crucial event.
The Good Brothers were released earlier this year in February but have previously returned to the company after being let go, adding credibility to speculation about their possible involvement at SummerSlam. However, this scenario remains unconfirmed as of now.
AJ Styles’ Recent Return to TNA Highlights His Wrestling Roots
Before joining WWE in 2016, AJ Styles was a prominent figure in TNA Wrestling from 2002 to 2014, widely regarded as one of the promotion’s most significant stars. With WWE holding partnerships with TNA, Styles made a notable comeback at the recent TNA Slammiversary Pay-Per-View event.
During this appearance, he praised the current TNA X Division Champion, Leon Slater, recognizing the legacy of the division and encouraging the future generation of wrestlers.
“You [Slater] showed everybody tonight that it’s not about weight limits, it’s about no limits. At least that was the foundation when I started. When I was in the X Division, it was AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian, The Amazing Red, Homicide, Jerry Lynn. We were the foundation back then. But you, Leon, you are the future,” said Styles. —AJ Styles
Although this was a brief appearance, fans are eager to see if Styles will further compete in the TNA ring in the near future.
Potential Impact of Former WWE Stars Rejoining to Support Styles
If The Good Brothers do return to assist AJ Styles at SummerSlam, it would mark a significant storyline development, especially against The Judgment Day faction. Their involvement could tilt the odds in Styles’ favor, providing backup to counteract any interference from Dominik Mysterio’s team.
This possible reunion could also signal a broader trend of former WWE talents making surprise appearances to enhance marquee events and storylines. SummerSlam 2025 may be a pivotal moment for AJ Styles as he seeks to reclaim a title while showcasing alliances that could alter WWE narratives moving forward.
