AJ Styles Denies He Has Signed A New WWE Deal
"I know nothing about this," says Styles.
AJ Styles has responded to claims he has came to terms on a new WWE deal with a firm social media denial.
WrestlingNewsWorld last night reported that the two-time WWE champ had penned a new contract for the company, one which would "set himself and his family up financially for the rest of his life", as well as provide opportunities outside the ring.
Styles himself replied to the breaking news personally, claiming, "I know nothing about this.":
The future of AJ Styles has been one of the hottest topics in the wrestling news cycle in recent weeks. The Phenomenal One is understood to have opened negotiations last November, with the Wrestling Observer reporting that the company was prepared to offer him a boosted deal with terms similar to Daniel Bryan's.
Contract talks couldn't have came at a better time for Styles. As one of the finest talents in the industry - and one with considerable inherent prestige - AJ's bargaining power is enormous, as he can leverage the competition between WWE and flush new competitor AEW over his signature for a plum deal.
At present, we still have no real inclination as to where he'll end up. Guess one clue is who he does and does not chastise on Twitter.
