Onto pastures new and taking their buddy with them?!

Look, AJ Styles has been phenomenal (pun very-much intended) since gatecrashing the WWE scene during the 2016 Royal Rumble. He's won World Titles, proved to be one of the industry's best, and had a banter-filled time beating up John Cena, but nothing lasts forever.

The latest on AJ is that his WWE deal will expire in January 2024. Unless he and company figureheads move quickly, then it's bye bye to Styles for now. Fans would be sad to see him go, but everyone would then be buoyed by dream match scenarios on the AEW side. Failing that, is a return to TNA out of the question?

On that, is anything out of the question in wrestling? This is a biz that saw Steve Austin return to rings after a 19 year layoff, and nobody saw that coming. Anything is possible, which is fittingly something people have learned when it comes to Styles.

His next move will be worth paying attention to, that's for sure.
