AJ Styles: One Final Phenomenal Run in TNA

AJ Styles: One Final Phenomenal Run in TNA

As a long-time fan of professional wrestling, I can’t help but reminisce about the days when Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) was a powerhouse in the industry. And when it comes to discussing TNA’s history, AJ Styles is undoubtedly one of the first names that come to mind. His accomplishments in the promotion are nothing short of extraordinary – from being the first-ever X Division champion to multiple world heavyweight championship reigns.


Speaking about the history of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, AJ Styles is one of the pioneers often brought up. From the inception of TNA, Styles played a significant role, earning numerous titles such as the first-ever X Division champion, multiple world heavyweight champion, tag team champion, and winner of the Bound for Glory Series. Yet, as with everyone, age eventually takes its toll on AJ Styles. It remains to be seen how many more years he’ll continue wrestling before hanging up his boots for good.

Imagine if AJ Styles, with a final hurrah, returned to the promotion that first propelled him to fame – TNA? Given the current working agreement between WWE and TNA, such a scenario seems plausible. This would not only delight TNA Wrestling enthusiasts but also wrestling fans as a whole, as they’d get to witness AJ Styles’ farewell tour in the place where his career took off.

Over the past decade since he last wrestled for TNA, styles and roster dynamics have significantly evolved. Before his farewell, there are countless potential matches that would be captivating to watch. These could include rematches with wrestlers he faced during his stints in WWE or TNA, such as Jeff Hardy, whose battles showcased Styles’ ability to keep pace with the best. Another intriguing possibility might be a match against Nick Nemeth, who has experienced a career resurgence recently. Additionally, fans would appreciate a few matches with Frankie Kazarian, reminiscing about the early 2000s when they delivered memorable performances in the ring together.

Speaking of hypothetical bouts, there’s a lot of discussion about dream matches. If TNA were to host one final event, it would be the perfect opportunity for AJ Styles to engage in these long-desired encounters. One such match that instantly pops up is against “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Bailey exhibits moves and holds that rival those of top wrestlers globally today. His aerial prowess and fighting style echoes the younger days of AJ Styles. It would be electrifying to witness a clash between these high-flying icons from the past and present.

How about considering a bout featuring the wrestler currently captivating audiences, Joe Hendry? Although Hendry has grappled before in NXT, a fight with Styles could have viewers glued to their screens. In contrast to a contest similar in style with Bailey, a duel with Hendry would offer a stark contrast. This would be a clash between the showman, Joe Hendry, and the seasoned pro, AJ Styles. The crowd’s allegiance would undoubtedly be divided over who they believe will emerge victorious from this contest.

Instead of competing in a solo bout, it’s possible that AJ Styles might prefer to engage in a tag team match. Currently, there isn’t a more fitting pair for this than the duo Ace Austin and Chris Bey, often referred to as ABC. While a one-on-one encounter between any of them and Styles would be thrilling, a tag team bout featuring Styles? That would be unmissable TV for every wrestling enthusiast. Styles has ample experience in tag team wrestling and could partner with anyone on the TNA roster, making for an exceptional match with ABC. The prospect of dream matches within TNA, involving AJ Styles, is virtually limitless.

If AJ Styles were to make one last run in TNA, how might his tenure there conclude? How would you express gratitude to a man who single-handedly elevated the promotion, brought it into the mainstream spotlight, and placed it firmly on the wrestling map? I think it would be straightforward. He’d be inducted into the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame as a fitting tribute. His final match for the company could take place at their flagship event, Bound for Glory, providing a memorable send-off.

19 years ago, Styles was part of the inaugural Bound for Glory event, and it seems fitting that he could end his TNA Wrestling career at this year’s grand spectacle – a poignant farewell to a man who significantly contributed to the promotion. But for now, unfortunately, this scenario is unlikely due to Styles’ recent foot injury, which may keep him out of action for some time. However, given the current working relationship between WWE and TNA, it’s not impossible that Styles might pay a visit to TNA before returning to the WWE.

AJ Styles is a man who has done it all in professional wrestling. He has wrestled some of the biggest names in the industry, wrestled in some of the most iconic venues in the world and has won some of the most prestigious titles in wrestling history. However, one last run at the promotion that made him famous, TNA Wrestling, would be a phenomenal way to end what has been a legendary and phenomenal career in pro wrestling. It’s time for AJ Styles to go back home to TNA Wrestling.
