I wouldn’t. AJ Styles most likely ending his career in WWE and I’d be shocked if he didn’t. Finn Balor might leave but again, I don’t even wanna think about that because AEW is literally getting so many ex WWE guys.

Yeah I'd prefer if they didn't go. Balor is fine with shit booking since he's getting paid a lot of money per a bunch of shoot interviews guys have done. Styles is a top star making top money, I don't see a reason for him to leave either.

AJ had planned on retiring at 40. Since he's gone a bit past that, we can probably assume he's sticking with it for the money WWE is paying him and he probably retire rather than leave.

I'd love to see Styles in AEW but I definitely agree with those that are saying he'll probably just want to settle down and retire. He's making good money in WWE and doesn't have to work as hard in the tag division. Selfishly I'd love for him to be back in big singles matches and having dream feuds but it's up to him more than anything else.

I think Balor would be amazing in AEW, I would love to see a feud between him and Darby. AJ, as people have said, would probably prefer to peace out when he’s ready, instead of starting again elsewhere.

I know Balor looks like a 20 year old college kid but he is indeed 40 and I think he's fine doing his thing in WWE. AJ Styles makes great money at age 43 or so. It's silly to say I wouldn't want them in AEW because it's always interesting to see great wrestlers like that in different environments, but it probably won't ever happen.

Why so suprise?

Some of my coworkers think I was 19 or 20 but I'm actually 36.
It's just surprising is all. I had him more mid 30's. I tend to get quite shocked at most wrestler's ages as they move like they are much much young. Especially guys like Balor. I doubt I'll be moving that well at 40.

Balor I could see making the jump, but not AJ. But honestly chances even of Balor is low in my opinion. I think he thrive there and could put on some great matches with lot of their young talent.

I really don't care if Balor jumps, But AJ Styles I cannot see jumping.

AJ Styles always wanted to come to WWE. I remembered that match he had with Hurricane on RAW before going to TNA.

With AJ finally finding his place in WWE I think he is good where he is.
