WWE Superstar AJ Styles could be returning to TNA.
AJ Styles was with TNA from 2002 to 2013, as he became one of the pioneers of the promotion and came to be known as Mr TNA. The star joined WWE in 2016 and has been a top star in the promotion, even winning the world title twice. Styles was the first-ever TNA Grand Slam Champion and was one of their greatest performers. The star did not want to be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame, which possibly created a rift between the two parties, but it seems that’s water under the bridge.
The star could now return to TNA while also being signed with WWE.
