AJ Styles to dethrone current champion and win major title after 11 years? Exploring the chances
AJ Styles has won multiple championships across different promotions in his Hall of Fame-worthy career. One of his most significant stints was in TNA, where he wrestled for 12 years and won the company's world title twice. After beating Chad Gable on last week's episode of RAW, Styles might return to TNA and go after the company's world title.
The Phenomenal One is one of TNA's most famous homegrown talents. He left the promotion in 2014 after a contract dispute. The TNA World Championship is currently held by Trick Williams, who beat Joe Hendry at NXT Battleground last month to capture the title.
After defending the title against several stars, the TNA Director of Authority, Santino Marella, could take matters into his hands. Santino could come out on Impact Wrestling and tell Trick Williams that he will have to defend the title against the best talent TNA has ever produced.
AJ Styles could make his surprise return to the promotion with his signature "Get Ready to Fly" theme song playing in the background. Styles could be revealed as Trick's next opponent for Slammiversary on July 20. AJ could dethrone Trick to win his third TNA World Title at Slammiversary.
This would be a great way to insert Styles into a main event-worthy storyline. WWE could also take this chance to integrate TNA storylines into its main roster. While this is a very far-fetched possibility, it will be interesting to see if the Stamford-based promotion takes this chance.
AJ Styles calls Chad Gable "one of the best in the business"
AJ Styles faced Chad Gable in a thrilling match on this week's episode of RAW. The Phenomenal One came out victorious against the Olympian. After his victory over the American Made leader, he cut a promo complimenting Gable.
During the promo, he also called out the Judgement Day and Seth Rollins' faction. He hinted towards a potential run-in with the mentioned groups.
"Here's the thing, I can't enjoy tonight because I can't stop thinking about what happened last week. Chad Gable, whether he has on a mask or not, is one of the best in the business," said Styles.
Fans are really excited to see what's next for Styles in the Stamford-based promotion.
