It looks like the recent speculation is true, and AJ Styles is expected to make a long-awaited return to TNA Wrestling this weekend at Slammiversary.
With TNA’s tent pole pay-per-view going down in New York this Sunday, the company is trying to make it as successful as possible. In recent days, there have been some interesting bits of evidence that have pointed to company icon AJ Styles possibly appearing at the event. Well, it seems to be more than a rumor.

Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown revealed on Thursday “that a potential Styles appearance at Slammiversary has been in the works for some time now and was a top priority for the upper brass within TNA. The expectation among several members of the roster is that he will indeed be at UBS Arena for Slammiversary in some capacity.”
Styles is one of TNA’s greatest performers. He won every title the company had during his era, and he took part in some of the promotion’s most important storylines and matches. However, in December 2013, “The Phenomenal One” left the company after getting a low-ball offer to re-sign.
Since then, diehard TNA fans have longed for him to return to the company he helped put on the map. When they entered a formal working relationship with WWE earlier this year, that possibility seemed as realistic as ever. Those fans will now get what they have long wanted this weekend at Slammiversary.
TNA Slammiversary takes place inside the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. The event will air on TNA+ and TrillerTV.
