AJ Styles wants to see IMPACT and AEW succeed despite being in competition with them both.
AJ Styles has had a successful career in WWE but before he signed with them in 2016, he was seen as an IMPACT guy through and through. He would also wrestle in NJPW and Ring Of Honor before his return to WWE and in 2019 when his contract with WWE was running out, there were reports AEW were attempting to sign Styles for the first episode of AEW Dynamite.
Speaking with Inside The Ropes, AJ Styles reflected on sending in a video for IMPACT Slammiversary 2022 and wanting the best for all the wrestling competition out there.
“I’m glad I got the opportunity. I still want IMPACT Wrestling to do well. I want AEW to do well. Competition is a good thing, it makes everybody better, there that. We want to see people succeed and to tell the truth, I have friends in every company, I would like to see them do well. So, they have my support, just like anybody else. I want to see them do well, I don’t want to see anyone lose their job and you never know who might show up in WWE.”
