AJ Styles Is Gone From TNA

AJ Styles

AJ Styles has confirmed that he has officially parted ways with TNA. Styles in a statement on his Facebook page said – “When this contract renegotiation journey started several months ago, my wife & I began praying for God to close doors that needed to be closed & to open doors that He wanted us to walk through. We asked Him to prepare us for this journey & to help  us to have the faith to be obedient to what He would have us to do. I am assured by the name Immanuel in Matthew 1:23 that I will never be alone. Hebrews 13:5, says He will never leave us or forsake us. There is a lot in this world that I am unsure of, especially in this moment, but there is one thing that I am certain. Contracts may expire, but the promise of Immanuel will never expire.” AJ said he & his family are grateful for the platform TNA has allowed him to experience.
