AJ Styles has been a part of the WWE roster since 2016. Initially, he was featured in the main event spot and even won the WWE Championship. Over the years, his prominence and role in the company have diminished slightly. While he is still involved in some major storylines from time to time, he hasn't won a title in a long time. The last time he held a title was back in 2021 when he won the RAW Tag Team Championship with Omos. This has caused fans to speculate on whether The Phenomenal One will stay with the Stamford-based promotion when his contract expires.

A user on X, formerly known as Twitter, asked Dave Meltzer whether there is any probability of Styles wrestling for AEW. Dave Meltzer replied that the possibility is exceedingly low, indicating that The Phenomenal One might end his career in the Stamford-based promotion.

"Exceedingly low."

This raised the issue of whether Styles would occupy the spot of a younger star if he moved to the Jacksonville-based promotion. Dave Meltzer replied that while Styles won't cause such issues, he reportedly made up his mind about AEW a long time ago.

"I'm sure AJ wouldn't cause those issues but I think he made his decision on AEW a long time ago."

"No opponent in mind. An idea that I will not share with you, that I thought if I could get The Undertaker in the ring with me, that I wanted to do, but there's an idea that I think kind of sums up who AJ Styles is," he said. [From 1:27:58 to 1:28:18]
