10 Must-see, rare photos of AJ Styles

#2 World Champion Tour

Styles took the TNA Championship on the road.

If you recall, things got legitimately rocky between AJ Styles and TNA management during his last days with the company. At one point, Styles left with the title on what was called the World Champion Tour, or the TNA Invasion. In this photo, AJ made his return to Mexico to defend his TNA World Championship against Mexican legend El Mesias.

Styles would defeat Mesias and retain his title, but the most interesting part of it all was that TNA officials actually vacated the title, just days prior to this match, which took place in November of 2013.
