AJ Styles will be forty next year, with his official website stating his birth as June 2, 1977. Its something that will count against him in WWE, as what's the point in pushing a guy who has no long term future in the company? Furthermore, he's been working a tough ring style for nearly two decades, which makes his physical wear even greater than the normal man of his age. That's going to impact WWE's thinking, they won't want to invest too big of a push in him and end up with a Daniel Bryan situation. With all that in mind, it is more likely that they signed him for a mid to lower card berth. He could easily end up being just another guy within the next few months. Overcoming the internal stigma over his age isn't going to be easy, all he can do is keep on going out there and performing to the best of his ability.
