nah TNA low-balling him in 2014 was the best thing that ever happened for AJ financially. Man made more his first year in WWE than TNA or NJPW ever would have paid him and is now probably within their top 10 highest paid stars which means he's making bank and there are few who have really earned it like he has

I think any version of "I Am" is synonymous with AJ Styles.

The heart and soul of TNA

Funny thing is aj styles and nick aldis are on smackdown now

This was a great storyline. After defeating Aces and Eights, the lone warrior AJ Styles became the target of the evil Dixie Carter and her chosen superstars Magnus and EC3. It had the opportunity to be a long lasting epic, but due to contract problems, AJ Styles left TNA. Although it was probably the greatest thing he ever did. After TNA, his already great career became legendary with incredible runs in New Japan and WWE.

his attire and appearance is what my 10 yo self would like

I'm just now remembering Magnus is Nick Aldis lol

the speech AJ Styles gave to Jeff Hardy speaks for itself how much AJ Styles loved Impact wrestling and pro wrestling.

damn its crazy to see just how far tna/impact has fallen since these days.

Honestly I started watching TNA for Sting. Fell in love with AJ, Samoa Joe and the others. These guys were amazing.

The silver lining is that this entire situation led to AJ's NJPW run, which completely revitalized his career.

The day Tna died That belt was beautiful

And now they are both on Smackdown (AJ Styles/ Magnus (Nick Aldis)

This man gave his life and career to TNA, and they spat in his face

Love to see him come Out to this music one time for wwe lol. His debut was so sick

The house that AJ built 🙌

Right before he started his Mission Impossible movie franchise

I couldn't then I can't now I literally can't believe he actually left

That's was an end of the best era of TNA

IMO i know AJ TNA OR NJPW era is Good. But i like What he is now in WWE. They push him become more GREATER and now he is one of WWE Core star

Tellin this man to take a paycut is crazy

This was the original house that AJ Styles build. Sad that they pay him what he was owed, because TNA/impact lost a phenomenal talent. No pun intended.

Extremly Awsome in TNa

Hermoso/Beautiful :3

That Spike logo is so badass. Spike TV stuff men like

AJ Is TNA

AJ is so missed in TNA

When you say WWE, I think about You cant see me & when you say TNA, I think about Get Ready to Fly

Idk how many people in this space watch mma but I always think about him and Michael chandler together on the smaller promotion but two of the best in the world at there craft

Ohhh man I forgot the bow cut before the soccer mom cut

was it known he was leaving at the time or did people find out after?

AJ is now ALL JACKED

Worst thing about tna is no ones intro song is audible

This aj styles gimmick was the best ever, in my opinion

I would love ro see him and kenny omega have a match in the wwe.

Should've hired Stone Cold, Randy Orton and Paul Heyman instead of Hogan and Bischoff

NICE!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖😊💖💖💖💖💖

Hey 👋☺️👋 but great weekend wrestling tna

Bring back the old theme song and gear to wwe

I know that AJ said that he wants to retire in WWE but he should retire in TNA. That would be fitting for him.

Wwe need to use this entrance as his heel

I miss get ready to fly

Only if he got back to TNA...

WWE should just buy out that theme and let him have it. His current theme is hot garbage.

They threw everything but the kitchen sink for AJ to lose that title to Aldis. I'm glad he was able to become a bigger star after leaving TNA.

Ah yes the day before this company was diagnosed with a crazy illness and put on life support.

This was arguably one of the most ridiculous matches of all time. How does the entire TNA practically came to beat up Aj... Terrible booking. . TNA died when Aj left

Tna when was at the top

I liked swaggles version. The weenominal one 😂

TNA was sliding down the relevance scale thanks to Hogan but this nosedived the company and it has its fans but TNA died and the corpse is still around. I'm glad AJ got an extraordinary career, but it got bigger after with Bullet Club and so on. love his work. He deserved every penny that they shafted him

Beiber Styles

Became ever more phenomenal (lol) when he went to NJPW. I take it he lost the match?

Soooo... nXt and Impact are cross promoting right now...
