AJ Styles Says WWE Unlikely To Allow TNA Match With Mike Santana

Styles cites WWE’s NXT-only TNA partnership as the reason a main-roster appearance is unlikely.

Overview

  • Speaking on the No Contest Wrestling Podcast, Styles said he doubts the bout will happen and explained that opening the door to main-roster crossovers would trigger many similar requests.
  • He reiterated that he wants one more TNA match before his planned 2026 retirement but does not see any match there happening right now.
  • Styles clarified that WWE’s current crossover with TNA involves NXT talent rather than main-roster stars.
  • He added that he wishes he could be the only main-roster wrestler to do it, acknowledging that this would be selfish.
  • TNA World Champion Mike Santana has publicly expressed interest in defending his title against Styles.
