In an update on AJ Styles’ contract negotiations with TNA Wrestling, both sides are said to be close to completing terms on a new deal and many within the company are now expecting Styles to make his return to the company in the coming weeks.
TNA Wrestling made an offer to Styles earlier in the week which is reported to be matching the terms that he had requested, however as of writing, there is no word as to whether Styles has accepted.

Makes me wonder if they felt they needed to get this deal done to sell the company.

Makes me wonder if they felt they needed to get this deal done to sell the company. And I sort of wonder if this is why some other guys in TNA are putting out the feelers. Maybe to sign him some other guys will have to get cut or have their deals changed. It seems likely that if things are going like this then them having so many wrestlers under exclusive talent agreements may need to end. In fact, any deal with Styles may be contingent on letting him be more flexible to pick up indy dates without their involvement. If he continues to announce new dates then I'd imagine this is the case. |

I would think it would make sense for TNA to book more like an Indy fed, actually... they could save money that way, and they'd probably be more successful as 'King of the Indy Feds' than 'the crappy alternative to WWE'.

I think you keep about 15 stable guys that are on permanent contracts and then have a rotating group of about 20 guys on shorter contracts.

The core guys had actual deals and everyone else was a small monthly salary on top of whatever they got paid when they worked. |
