NWA World Heavyweight Championship (3 times)
NWA World Tag Team Championship (4 times) with Jerry Lynn (1), Abyss (1), and Christopher Daniels (2)
TNA Legends/Global/Television Championship (2 times)
TNA World Heavyweight Championship (1 time)
TNA World Tag Team Championship (1 time) with Tomko
TNA X Division Championship (6 times)
First TNA Triple Crown Champion (4 times)
First TNA Grand Slam Champion (2 times)
Mr. TNA (20032005)
TNA Match of the Year (2006) with Christopher Daniels vs. Homicide and Hernandez at No Surrender, September 24, 2006
TNA Match of the Year (2009) vs. Sting at Bound for Glory, October 18, 2009
TNA Tag Team of the Year (2006) with Christopher Daniels
My point is that AJ has done all of this and is still with TNA. I admire his loyalty, but soon he's going to start asking questions. This time last year he was World Champion. Now he's feuding and been "injured" by Bully Ray. That's right. AJ Styles is feuding with Bubba Ray Dudley. Nothing against Bully Ray, he plays his part superbly. But his time has passed.
Many would call for AJ to jump to the WWE. But do you really think that would be a good idea? Would he ever get a world title push in the WWE? Evan Bourne has similar ability to AJ and look where Bourne is. Superstars and Raw squash matches.
TNA hasn't used AJ the right way. They should have been pushing him as the company's top star. It took them until last year to do that and then they gave the title to RVD, then Meth Hardy, then Mr. Anderson and now back to Sting. Everyone was going insane with the possibility of Sting going to WWE and if he did then he definitely won't be stuck in the mid card. Reason? Sting was a huge star before TNA. Before TNA, AJ was an indy star. Now he's an IWC star. He doesn't have the star power of some of the WWE superstars. I bet Kofi Kingston's shirts sell more than AJ's shirts.
My point is, eventually AJ is going to realise that he's got nothing left to do in TNA. He's not the big name he could be because TNA haven't used him right. By that point will it be too late to jump ship?
Thoughts on AJ?
