WWE: 5 Reasons AJ Styles Won't Be Signed (And 5 Reasons Why They Should)
3. Signing Styles Might Open the Door for Other TNA Stars
TNA has a roster absolutely filled with great wrestling talent. In fact, it's practically bursting at the seams. The booking may be frankly bewildering at times, but any company that boasts the talents of Austin Aries, Chris Sabin, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, James Storm, Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe, Chris Daniels, Frankie Kazarian (and loads more besides) is definitely doing something right. However, aside from the re-hiring of old hands (Rob Van Dam), WWE has shown little/no interest in plundering TNA talent. With TNA in the midst of a full-blown financial crisis, it seems odd that WWE hasn't tried to cherry pick the likes of Bobby Roode, James Storm or Samoa Joe. However, if A.J were to become a success in the WWE, then surely it would be a different story. There would certainly be a spot for the charismatic and consistently superb Christopher Daniels (Styles' real-life best friend) as well as other openings for his fellow TNA headliners. So, if TNA's most phenomenal superstar became WWE's most phenomenal superstar, then the doors would open for an influx of new (and far more stylistically varied) talent.
