Matt Hardy recently expressed his interest in seeing a two-time WWE World Champion appearance in TNA Wrestling. The Destroyer made this statement following last week's massive announcement of a multi-year partnership between WWE and TNA.
Before joining the Stamford-based promotion in 2016, AJ Styles was with TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling) from 2002 to 2014. He was a key player in the company's success during that period, winning multiple championships, including the World Championship.
The Phenomenal One is currently sidelined from in-ring competition due to a Lisfranc injury. He sustained this injury during a match against Carmelo Hayes on Friday Night SmackDown in October 2024.
Speaking on his The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, the 50-year-old legend stated that he would love to see AJ Styles return to TNA Wrestling. Matt Hardy confidently predicted that this would likely happen in the future:
