AJ Styles might be a WWE superstar now, but don’t rule out a TNA Wrestling comeback—at least for one night.
Styles, who spent over a decade defining TNA from 2002 to 2013, recently told Chris Van Vliet that he’d be open to a special return, though he’s not sure if it’ll actually happen.
“I don’t know. I’d like to. I think it’d be fun to do something like that, like a one-off. I would definitely do it,” Styles said.
His comments come as WWE and TNA continue their working relationship, something Styles sees as a major shift under Triple H’s leadership. He reflected on how things were different during the Vince McMahon era, revealing that Vince wasn’t exactly keeping tabs on talent outside of WWE.
“Vince never watched any matches outside of WWE because nothing else existed except for WWE,” Styles said. “But it feels like Triple H watches everything. I think he had a better idea of who guys and girls were and bringing them in. But that’s what we need. You have to evolve.”
Styles also explained why partnerships like WWE-TNA and WWE-NOAH benefit the industry as a whole. He pointed to Omos recently working in NOAH as an example, saying, “He’s going to learn over there, and he’s going to bring that back to WWE. It’s going to work well for him in WWE, the things that he didn’t know. You learn different styles. It’s good.”
For now, Styles remains focused on his WWE career, but with doors between companies opening like never before, the idea of Phenomenal One stepping into a TNA ring again isn’t as far-fetched as it once was.
