10 WWE Wrestlers Who Must Also Join AEW
8. AJ Styles
The fact that AJ Styles is currently involved in a series of matches around the Intercontinental Title speaks to both his versatility and the strange state of modern era WWE.
There was a time where that particular belt represented a specific period in a wrestler's career and one they'd ultimately look past and never revisit. Now, it's a different badge of honour - an acknowledgement that the company would rather use you than not but don't expect to be factored in to the big plans any time soon.
Hardly 'Phenomenal', is it?
On the surface, Styles seems relatively content to retire with WWE having used his incredible talent and experience to rise quickly through the ranks upon arriving in 2016. But might there be one big gamble left? He was unhappy with the treatment of his friends Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, initially unhappy at the prospect of working with Paul Heyman again, and can't be thrilled that his growing Twitch empire might be clobbered by impending new guidelines.
It's unlikely, but not impossible. And wasn't that the phrasing applied to Styles' trajectory for most of his TNA career?
