As noted, AJ Styles bid farewell to Revolution Pro Wrestling yesterday when he lost his Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship to Zack Sabre. Following the match, Styles cut a promo saying goodbye to the fans and teased entering the WWE Royal Rumble match.

While it appears as if Styles has yet to officially sign with WWE, all signs point toward him and other top NJPW stars such as Doc Gallows, Shinsuke Namamura and Karl Anderson all signing with WWE.

According to PWTorch.com, both NJPW and Ring of Honor had strong interesting in re-signing Styles, and wanted to book him in main events for several months to come, however WWE apparently “scooped” them by offering Styles a “blow-away deal.”


For those unaware, this won’t be the first time WWE has made AJ Styles an offer, as they reportedly offered him a low ball deal rumored to be for $60,000 per year, which was a drastic pay cut from the rumored $400,000 annual salary he was making in TNA at the time. The low ball offer is why Styles chose to re-sign with TNA and not jump ship to WWE. Since NXT has launched, however, the WWE brand has had a drastic impact on how the company scouts talents and offers deals.

Styles also teased Rumble appearance, probably not happening because I don't wanna jynx this (knock on wood). But if this is a blow away, something way higher than the TNA deal mentioned above, he's gotta take it. At at time like this, the company can make him a big star, with the fame he already has outside the company.

He finally sold his soul to the devil sycho:

AJ must've been offered a good amount of money, no doubt. The dude's a family mark and will do what's best for his family.

My only fear is that he's a former TNA guy and might be misused on the main roster.

Just as I said in another topic, Vince has to commit

Vince doesn't care.

I think he's destined to be misused. I don't see him being a top guy on the main roster. He'll start off with a lot of momentum, but then they'll probably book him in a 4 month feud with Sheamus and he'll end up jobbing after that :sheamful:

I think you're right, sadly. :downer:

 

[The GOAT]

AJ doesn't have the charisma to be a top guy in WWE. His mic skills are on par with Matt Hardy's. Then again, so were Matt's brother Jeff's and he became the hottest superstar in the industry in 2009, so who knows.

Still, if I were a huge Styles fan, I wouldn't even think about getting my hopes up that he'll receive a serious push to the top.

Jeff had the look and swagger tho. And he basically pioneered extreme high flying in WWE. Aj styles definitely doesn't have the right look to be a top guy

AJ styles looks like a church loving soccer dad lol

AJ IS a church loving, bible thumping, anti gay rights redneck (at least he was anti gay rights). He'll fit right in with McMahon's crew (PS Hayes to be precise)

Neither did Daniel Bryan, and look at how he's turned out.

Just saying, you can never really be 100% sure who the audience will gravitate towards and end up liking and who they won't.

Hell, AJ Styles is the perfect example of what Lock just pointed out.

AJ was never meant to be Mr. TNA. But who became Mr. TNA? AJ Styles.

He's also a former New Japan, and worldwide superstar. Something most TNA alums can't boast.

Swerve?
