AJ Styles has made clear that he has no problem with Will Ospreay using the Styles Clash during his International Title match on AEW Dynamite.
During his hour-long epic match with MJF, Ospreay used Styles’ finisher on the ring apron, and the move was referenced by name by Taz on commentary.
On Twitter, Styles put to bed any rumors or speculation he would have an issue with his move being used by the Aerial Assassin.
Why do you think it bothers me that someone else is doing my move? We all do it. Its wrestling! I think if nothing else, it shows appreciation.

Styles and Ospreay have had just one singles match against one another which came during a Revolution Pro Wrestling show in London, England in February 2015.
That match saw Styles defeat Ospreay. A year later, the Phenomenal One joined WWE where he has remained ever since.
