GCW Addresses Arik Cannon's Comments on Avery Styles

GCW has issued a statement regarding the recent controversy involving Arik Cannon's remarks about Avery Styles, which have been widely discussed on pro wrestling social media this weekend.

Cannon's comments came after he disputed a claim made by Nattie about Styles, the son of AJ Styles, wanting to contribute to event preparations. This led to a public exchange between Cannon and AJ Styles, prompting various reactions online. GCW clarified that while they respect Cannon, he does not represent the organization.

Cannon, who is not a GCW employee but runs F1RST Wrestling, was present at a GCW event where the incident allegedly occurred. Following the exchange, he engaged with WWE NXT's Lexis King and shared images of other wrestlers assisting at indie shows, while continuing to address his critics. Avery Styles has not publicly responded to Cannon's comments.
