The Phenomenal One buries the hatchet. Professionally, at least...

It appears that WWE's AJ Styles and Paul Heyman are no longer beefing.

'The Phenomenal One' commented on their backstage angst during his most recent Twitch stream, stating that "it is what it is, it's water under the bridge," and that while he isn't going to forget what Heyman has done, he isn't "going to be the guy that holds a grudge."

"It's one of those things where he knows he p*ssed me off and how I felt," AJ added. "Just because I don't trust him doesn't mean that I can't get along with him professionally. I'm not going to do or say anything mean to him. It's over."

This comes on the back of Heyman's recent move to SmackDown, where AJ currently competes. Paul E. switched brands and allegiances last week, first appearing alongside Roman Reigns on SmackDown, then managing his new charge to a Universal Title win at Payback.

Styles had previously spoken out against Heyman, calling him a "liar" and pointing the finger at the former ECW chief for playing a role in Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson getting released from WWE in April. Fortunately, Gallows and Anderson are now flourishing in Impact.
