AJ says that a few years later he was offered a developmental deal but he turned it down because it would have required him to uproot his family and, despite encouragement from his wife to take the offer he didn't feel it would be fair to her.

This brings us to TNA, and he says that he was working for a short-lived Australian promotion called World Wrestling All-Stars when he met Jeff Jarrett. He signed the deal right there in Australia, not thinking it would be anything other than just another independent appearance, and the rest is history.

Styles adds that as far as he knows he was the first talent that TNA ever signed.
