#1. Hope is true: 'Unhappy' AJ Styles not leaving WWE for AEW

AJ Styles has constantly been pushed as a high-level main event talent since he arrived in WWE. The fact that he's the Intercontinental Champion now goes to show that he's always viewed as a reliable worker in WWE's eyes.

However, it seems clear that he's been unhappy of late. From his recent rants about Paul Heyman to botching Gran Metalik's name on commentary (and allegedly getting told off for it), Tom Colohue revealed that AJ Styles isn't too happy in WWE now, but that doesn't mean that he's leaving for AEW:

What I do know is that until recently, AJ Styles has been very happy with the WWE, and there is no guarantee that going to AEW would be the right call for him. For example, Gallows and Anderson didn't. At the moment, AEW doesn't seem to be hiring, or at least isn't hiring big-name stars like AJ Styles. Essentially, I think AJ Styles is too rich for their blood. However, we'll have to wait and see. Also, AJ Styles has a very long contract with the WWE right now. There are many years left on that, so you're unlikely to see him go anywhere, anytime soon."

We hope this is true because WWE is AJ Styles' home now and the best possible place for him to end his storied career.
