Update on AJ Styles WWE status
By: ChrissiCalvert Date: January 18, 2016, 3:34 pm

It's been well-documented over the past couple of weeks that
A.J. Styles will mostly likely be heading to WWE some time soon,
although he has reportedly not yet signed a contract with WWE.
Both the Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling promotions
were very eager to keep "The Phenomenal One" on their respective
rosters, and it's said that ROH offered him a very lucrative
deal, at least by ROH/indy standards. Styles was reportedly
offered a six-figure contract by ROH.
Styles has made it no secret that he wants to make as much money
as he can in wrestling in order to provide financial security
for himself and his family. According to a report from
PWTorch.com, WWE has given Styles an offer that "blows away"
whatever ROH and/or NJPW were offering him.
When Styles informed ROH officials about his offer from WWE,
they pretty much gave up on trying to re-sign him and have
removed him from future events that he was originally scheduled
for. It's possible that a deal could be worked out that would
allow Styles to do a farewell appearance for ROH, but aside from
that, it appears as though the former TNA World Heavyweight
Champion and NJPW IWGP Heavyweight Champion is bound for WWE.
