I don't believe he will. He's already pretty old, although that didn't stop them from getting Truth when he left TNA (he was 36, so is AJ) and they should know the guy is ready for prime time. I would mark if it happened, but I'm not sure it will, although it's not a guarantee that it won't happen either.

Article mentions bringing him in for Royal Rumble. Even if he doesn't win the rumble it would be a huge pop for the reveal.
He wouldn't get a huge pop the majority of the audience would just carry on chanting YES YES YES. Not a dig at AJ but you really think people less intelligent that FTJ know who he is?

RR crowds are generally pretty smarky. I think he would garner a decent reaction.

Annnnnnnnnnnndd... people less intelligent than FTJ? These people exist :shock:

Hey he knows who AJ is which is a step above the majority of the WWE universe. I've never realized the crowds to be that smarky tbh they know WWE history but not really much of TNF and their talents.

Recently I've heard RR crowds pop for nash, godfather, Jim Duggan. Road Dogg, Goldust, ect.

Not sure if 'smarky' is the right word but they seem to know people who have been outside the confines of the 'wwe universe' in recent years.

What could we possibly have to go by on judging if RR crowds have knowledge of TNA talents? I don't understand where that statement is coming from.

No he won't. WWE offered him less than he got in TNA, so when TNA found out they offered him less than he got before, hence him not signing for WWE or TNA.

I'd like to see AJ Styles in the WWE. I've enjoyed his matches and I think he could put on good matches with the WWE roster as well. Maybe they'll take a chance on him and bring him in but only time will tell.

I don't think a nearly washed up Indy dude is a good investment. 5 years ago maybe.

I wish they would as well. But again I probably wouldn't like how they would use him.

I seem to recall reading back in the day that WWE was semi-interested in signing AJ Styles as early as 2002 or '03, but he expressed little interest in them and stayed loyal and faithful to TNA or ROH instead (whichever he was working for at the time.) Probably should have just taken the deal since he might end up there eventually anyway, only ten years older and (near) past his prime.

Not sure what this comment was supposed to mean, as if you are implying the assumption that he hasn't enjoyed his time in TNA over the past decade, which judging by his loyalty you would presume the opposite would be true.
