In a move that many felt would never happen, it would seem that AJ Styles is on his way to World Wrestling Entertainment. For twelve years Styles was the mainstay of TNA, long considered the number two wrestling promotion in North America, and in many ways he had become a Sting-type figure of the modern age - the loyal star who wouldn't jump ship. Times have changed, though, and after a career-redefining run in New Japan Pro Wrestling it would seem that we are finally going to see AJ Styles in a WWE ring. Of course, these are only rumours at the moment and no contract has officially been signed, but where there is smoke there is usually fire and the flames rising up around AJ are threatening to engulf one and all. So if we assume that AJ Styles is indeed on his way to the company, how will he make his bow? This question begets yet more questions, the most pertinent of which being 'where he will start?'. Samoa Joe, an old rival of AJ, made his debut in NXT and still finds himself there today, many months later. Does the same fate await Styles? Or does he jump straight to the main roster, not unlike Sin Cara when he arrived in 2011? Either way, the man needs to make an entrance that will put bums in seats and jaws on floors. Here are five options WWE has when it comes to introducing AJ Styles.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
