The plot thickens
>>19870264>Neckbeard Mike Johnson
AEW weren't getting him anyway kek
>>19870264Wrestling fans just can't bring themselves to accept that AJ was simply ready to stop wrestling.
Is him saying no to wrestling a negotiation tactic?>Yeah I'm done with in-ring stuff but lets see your offer>Hmmm not what I was expecting but lets keep talking>Contract runs out>Yeah I'm going to wrestle in NJPW, AEW, all over the indies again>That's more like it, deal
>>19870276There were rumors from months ago that he planned to go on for another year or so. He even had an extension drawn up and ready to go.
>>19870264Did he make a promise to his kids he would retire to spend more time with them?
>>19870264I.E. he is looking for the unique first case of a legends deal that will commence AFTER 1-2 years away from wwe to close the book on left hanging indy stories.
>>19870283Hes already turned down several multimillion dollar offers from AEW. Toby Con isn't going to turn AJ into the next Edge no matter how much you beg.
>>19870310>Hes already turned down several multimillion dollar offers from AEWThat's because WWE outbid them
>>19870310He can’t because AJ is already an established name with a large archive outside of WWE unlike Copeland.
>>19870310Except everyone knows that literally will happen because Tony has more money.
>>19870299>to close the book on left hanging indy stories
in AJ's shoes, at the least I would entertain what number Tony is offering just to test the barometer, anything after is his choice regardless
>>19870276>>19870283AJ does want to make the top of the mountain where he settles in. However, he realizes like anybody with a heart left, so not many at his current employer; that he was the pinnacle of the indies/ ace of the secondary promotions/ a watershed face of the last american scene before the post-reality era. For the sake of the industry as a whole a sendoff on the outside would be fitting, but there are still insane remnants of Vince's refusal to recognize the world outside stamford's bubble. AJ might be one of the few people with cache/leverage/timing/ and idea to push their stubborness for once
>>19870264>ROYAL __MBLEI can't make out the two missing letters.
>>19870322not decided if commas of hyphens would change the level of entendre but either way no they dont want none
>>19870383AA -its a retiree reference
>>19870320two more weeks kek
>>19870264Heh. We pretty much got him. Big Tone has infinite money. AJ Styles is gonna wrestle for us at ALL IN. Trust in Big Tone. When Big Tone really, really wants some toy, he always gets that toy. It's that simple.
>>19870573'fraid not, faggot. Keep gooning to the thought of it though. I know you need a reason to get up every morning
>>19870380Where would you suggest he go?
He's going to AEW "where the best wrestle" since he is one of the best.
These marks ass journalists actually think he's done wrestling?
>>19870310Edge is the one who turned himself into whatever he is in AEW, what the fuck are you talking about?>Gets a feud with Christian just like he wanted, wins, then proceeds to kwab himself by jumping of a cell against a shitter like Alistair Black putting him out of action for months.>Returns from injury to have a feud with Mox, just to leave for filming for a few months.>Returns from filming just to have a mini feud with FTR, then proceeds to take a break again for filming or whatever again for months.>Now FTR are keeping the titles hostage just waiting for this shitter and gigadimes Christian to return.Edge is a shitter and he got more than he deserves here.
>>19870584He is not yours anymore you oinking piggiE bitch. He left your shitty company. His contract has expired and he doesn't owe your MAGA fed shit anymore. He is ours now. We own him. He is #ALLELITE.
are aew hogs really oinking for another 50+ year old sawdusted wwe toy youd think xheyd learn xir lesson by now
>>19870276I can accept him wanting to stop wrestling, what I can't accept is how someone with his career and love for the game would be okay to end it in front of a stadium half full of sand niggers without his family being in the audience against a charisma void like Gunther in one of the shittiest ppvs in the entire history of the company.If I was AJ I would unironically consider suicide the better retirement option instead of what he got.Whatever Tony's company could offer him in terms of a retirement tour cannot be possibly as bad as what he got in WWE.
>>19870623Nta but have him go to AEW, yeah I said it.He knows his worth and I'm sure Tony would cream himself if AJ accepted a contract from him and would agree to anything.Have AJ wrestle Joe with Daniels also being involved in the feud.Have AJ beat up the elite especially Kenny for what happened in Japan with the BC stuff.Have him win the AEW championship and finish his career in Wembley in the main event scene.He deserves better.
>>19870264>AEW fans are STILL begging for AJ to go thereKek. That's not the plot thickening
>>19870949Imagine how disgusted AJ would be if he met Trev.
Idk why aewtists want this guy. He is a chud and he's not gonna wrestle somewhere if there's a chance the crowd chants fuck ice again. He hates you
>>19870264The new deal he's discussing is just for his producer job or scout job or whatever he said he wanted to do when he retired in ring
>>19870276He said he wanted to retire in 2026. I just didn't expect January 2026. Being done with WWE this early in the year and this unceremoniously definitely leaves room for speculation.
>>19870949AJ would spit on your gay crippled ass in a heartbeat
>>19870276Ready to stop without a contract in place?? Sounds like bs to me- maybe ready to stop wrestling in WWE
>>19870264Sounds like hes working the WWE management like Mox did, AJ wants to finish his career with his friends
I can see him going to new japan for a last lap, wrestling aew talent in new japàn events plus forbidden door, but there's no way he directly goes to aew
>>19870264I know you edrones hate it when someone leaves your cult but honestly you faggots never deserved AJ anyway. You were perfectly fine with him being wasted and jobbed out for YEARS and now he's going to go to AEW and get a proper send off and there ain't shit you can do about it except piss your fucking panties while crying about it online. Get fucked, bitches.
>>19871855Piss poor bait, if you're gonna shitpost, try fucking harder you dumb faggot
>>19871855BasedCan’t wait for Styles vs OmegaCan’t believe WWE never gave anyone Styles vs HBK but let HBK return for a shitty Saudi match.
I don't like AEW but he is not old enough to be a producer I think so why not juice Tiny Con for the biggest mark contract and wrestle once a month then3 years later go back to WWE in a backstage role if he even needs that?
