TNA has released a teaser that has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, heavily hinting at the return of AJ Styles. The July 17th episode ended with a brief yet impactful teaser featuring a stylized logo that fans immediately associated with Styles, sparking widespread speculation ahead of the upcoming Slami Burly Long Island pay-per-view this Sunday.
This teaser follows a cryptic one-word post from TNA president Carlos Silva, who simply wrote “Amazing”—a clear nod to AJ Styles, famously known as “The Phenomenal One.” Fans quickly connected the dots, linking the post to Styles’ anticipated return. Pwinsider reported insider chatter suggesting that Styles is likely to make his comeback this weekend, though neither WWE nor TNA have officially confirmed it. Insider Mike Johnson hinted that fans eager to see Styles return home should consider ordering or attending Slami Burly.
Rumors about Styles’ return have been circulating for weeks. Even WWE NXT star Trick Williams, the current TNA world champion, mentioned in an interview that AJ Styles is the top main roster star he wants to face. Coupled with the teasing from Silva and the mysterious clip, anticipation is mounting among fans expecting a major announcement.
If AJ Styles does appear, it would mark his first TNA appearance since May 2013. Before becoming a WWE cornerstone, Styles was instrumental in shaping TNA through his legendary runs with the NWA World Titles, TNA World Titles, and the X-Division Championship.
Is AJ Styles about to step back into the spotlight in the organization he helped build, or is this simply a clever stunt? Share your predictions in the comments and let us know if you think his return would be a phenomenal moment for TNA this Sunday.
