5 Possible ways NJPW could mark the return of AJ Styles

#2 NJPW brings back AJ Styles but with a contractual twist

The Phenomenal One to lead the BC in ROH again?

If you're familiar with AJ Styles' work under New Japan Pro Wrestling then you should also be familiar with the fact that Styles wasn't exactly NJPW exclusive despite being the IWGP Heavyweight Champion. 'The Phenomenal One' was rather used as the superior figurehead of the Bullet Club in Ring of Honor just so NJPW could further expand and promote their brand in American soil, via the Bullet Club's work. And, it is safe to say that worked pretty well for both NJPW and Bullet Club in particular, as Styles and co. successfully laid the foundation for the Japanese promotion to expand in the US.

From there onwards, since Styles' departure rather, Kenny Omega and the rest of the Bullet Club perfectly expanded the NJPW market in the United States, as back in 2017, New Japan Pro Wrestling finally hosted their first ever American show.

Nevertheless, getting back to the AJ Styles topic, if NJPW is to bring back the two-time WWE Champion then they can very well have him compete for ROH on a regular basis and appear for NJPW only for limited shows, much like he did during his initial run. That way, not only will Styles be able to stay Stateside but he will also get to stay in touch with his family on a regular basis.
