One of the most loved WWE superstars, Styles, recently faced a lot of heat from the fans when his social media account was hacked and some offensive posts were made. Amid the controversy, the former WWE Champion has shared a video revealing how he fell prey to a SIM swap scam.

Styles shared via Instagram, revealing that his SIM card had been stolen, which granted the scammer access to his X account. He also shared that he became aware of the posts through his wife’s phone.

“My Twitter/X…has been hacked. If you didn’t know, it’s some crazy stuff. I was able to pull it up on my wife’s phone, because I’m unable to get into my Twitter account. They stole my SIM card, somebody allowed that at AT&T, but I got another guy working on it…some idiot, some moron, stole my phone and was able to hack Twitter,” Styles Said.

AJ Styles to Face Dominik Mysterio for IC Title?
While Styles faced disappointment at WrestleMania 41 after being defeated by Logan Paul, Dominik Mysterio had the most memorable moment of his career as he defeated Bron Breakker, Penta, and Finn Bálor in a fatal four-way match to become the Intercontinental Champion.

Recently, on the April 28 episode of Raw, The Phenomenal One was speaking with Nick Aldis when The Judgment Day interrupted them. Liv Morgan is filming a Hollywood movie and has taken some time off TV. The new IC Champion also asked for leave; however, his request wasn’t granted.

Many exciting matches have already been booked for the upcoming pay-per-view event Backlash on May 10, and Styles vs. Mysterio with the IC Championship on the line could be another bout added to the show.
