Moose has voiced his wish to see AJ Styles, known as the Phenomenal One, make a return to TNA for a few more matches. Following AJ Styles’ final bout this year at the WWE Royal Rumble PLE held in Atlanta, Georgia—where he lost to Gunther in a high-stakes match—Styles officially retired from professional wrestling. Despite AJ Styles’ retirement and plans to enter the Hall of Fame this year as confirmed by the Undertaker, Moose hopes the veteran wrestler still has some performances left in him and could come back to TNA.
AJ Styles’ Career Highlights and Retirement
AJ Styles concluded his active wrestling career in his hometown after a significant match against the Ring General, Gunther. This match was widely viewed as career-defining, leading to Styles’ retirement announcement. He has since been acknowledged for his impactful career, with recognition including his upcoming induction into the Hall of Fame. While Styles himself has stated he is done with the wrestling ring, the idea of him returning—even briefly—remains a topic among fans and fellow wrestlers like Moose.
Moose Shares His Admiration and Hope for AJ Styles’ Future Appearances
During a discussion on Rewind, Recap, Relive, Moose praised AJ Styles’ accomplishments, highlighting his status in both TNA and WWE. He described Styles as potentially the greatest wrestler in the world and expressed a hopeful, albeit personal, desire for Styles to come back for a few more matches at TNA.
“Oh yeah, man. I’m happy for everything he accomplished in TNA and in WWE. To me, he’s the greatest, if not the greatest wrestler in the world, definitely one of them, and I mean, selfishly, I hope he has a couple of more matches in his belt to come to TNA to perform a couple of more times. But I mean, I think he deserves everything he’s getting.” – Moose, TNA Wrestler
Current Situations for Moose and AJ Styles
Recently, Moose has been focused on avenging a betrayal by the System and has been determined to confront them individually. Meanwhile, AJ Styles has firmly expressed his completed journey in professional wrestling, choosing to maintain retirement and focus on his legacy. This contrast highlights the differing stages of their careers but keeps discussions about potential matches alive.
The Significance of a Possible AJ Styles TNA Return
Moose’s hope for an AJ Styles TNA return emphasizes the impact Styles continues to have within professional wrestling, particularly in TNA circles. Should Styles decide to perform again, even for a limited set of matches, it would excite fans and add a historic chapter to his career. For now, the wrestling community watches closely, understanding that any return would carry significant weight and bring renewed energy to TNA programming.
