Styles explained that it was just regular business as his WWE contract was expiring and he engaged in talks with All Elite Wrestling which never got to the phase wherein they discussed money.
Styles noted that The Young Bucks are his good friends, and they never really spoke about the financial aspect of the deal. They only talked about the angle that could get AJ Styles in AEW.
The original plan for AJ Styles’ AEW debut
Matt Jackson had revealed the original plans for AJ Styles’ AEW debut during a recent appearance on the Talk N’ Shop Patreon podcast. The pitched plan was for AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to debut on the very first episode of AEW Dynamite.
AJ Styles ended up re-signing with the WWE, and the AEW plan never became a reality. It was, however, noted by Matt Jackson that AJ Styes being in contact with AEW helped the Phenomenal One get a great offer from the WWE.
AJ Styles recently revealed that he plans on retiring after his current WWE contract ends and the chances of seeing the 43-year-old veteran in AEW thus look really bleak.
