20 Most Infamous Real Life Wrestling Fights Of All Time
15. AJ Styles Vs. The Zebra Kid (2008)
During a match in UK promotion 1PW, Zebra Kid (brother of WWE star Paige and son of British wrestling veteran Ricky Knight) took it upon himself to piledrive Roderick Strong on the outside of the ring, apparently without calling it. This didn't sit right with Strong, but instead of mentioning it to the Zebra Kid, he instead complained to AJ Styles about what had happened.
After being told about it, AJ asked that Zebra be brought to him so he could "have words". When Zebra walked into the room, Styles spun him around by the shoulder and asked, "What the f**k were you doing? You did every move out there! Try saving some for the main event guys!" Zebra took AJ's words in his stride, calmly telling him, "What was I doing? Well, I took Roderick Strong and piledrove him on the outside of the ring. You're a big TNA star aren't you? What, are you worried you won't be able to get over now?"
AJ thought Zebra was messing with him, so he looked around the room for support. With an amused look on his face, he stared past Zebra and asked the rest of the boys, "Who is this guy? Is this guy serious? Is this guy for real!?" "Yeah, Im for real!" piped up an increasingly angry Zebra. "I'm in America next month as well, and y'know what, I'll do the same thing over there too."
Stunned, AJ again asked the room if Zebra was serious, before realising from the concerned eyes staring back at him that he may have made a mistake. Sensing he was in danger, AJ quickly tried to defuse the situation and play it off as a joke, playfully punching Zebra in the arm. Zebra responded by "playfully" shoving AJ away in a manner that was decidedly not playful at all, before walking away before he did something he might later regret.
Winner: The Zebra Kid
