Book him in a way that helps increase his following in the gay community. Wait no, I did that wrong. |

I wouldn't bring him in.
He can't talk for shit.
Whilst his ring work is really good he is getting on a bit nowadays. 4 or 5 years ago he could have come in and had a decent midcard run but nowadays he#d just take up a slot someone younger than him in NXT would suit better.

Hire him as an NXT trainer. Let him do indies if he wants to wrestle. No interest in seeing him on TV.

He'll debut as the crazy ex-boyfriend of AJ Lee. It'll explain the stupid tattoo. My first thought was stalker... but crazy ex-works too  |

I'd be perfectly fine with them just putting him in the Kofi role.

In all honesty, due to their ROH history, I'd love to see him in a feud with Punk or Bryan. But that would mean acknowledging TNA or ROH on the air, so the chances of that happening are about nill.

It would be hilarious if he wouldn't be allowed to do the Styles Clash because Takers wife used it.

Job him out to Simon Gotch in NXT. AJ is overrated as all hell.

AJ as the third man who runs in to help Punk and Bryan against The Shield?

won;t be signed because Vince will think having two AJs on the roster would confuse the "WWE universe"- even though one's a man and the other's a woman.

Kinda surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but put him with Punk & Bryan to even up the odds against the Wyatt's/Shield.
You can even go a step further then. After the world titles are unified, create a six man tag title. There are already a few established teams, & a few more can easily be created:
The Shield
The Wyatt Family
3MB
Punk/Bryan/Styles
The Real Americans: Cesaro/Swagger/Riley
Because Someone Else Needs To Job Besides 3MB: Miz/Dolph/Kofi.
Or not. Just sayin'.

Why not? Will he be in an angle with AJ Lee? Nah. The commentators will just refuse to mention it and assume no one notices. "You know King, AJ is Spanish for Sin Cara!" |

Evan Bourne's tag team partner.
Sorry, but I doubt he'd ever get past that point in WWE.

Times have changed a lot since the Monday night wars, and you couldn't just bring him in and expect everyone to say, "hey, it's AJ Styles!" You'd have to slowly bring him up the same way as any other NXT/FCW call-up, since probably at least a good 75% of WWE's audience would have absolutely no idea who he is.

It would book itself. Have weeks of vignettes, followed by a surprise debut at a major PPV where he defeats Cena for the title. Instant impact. Yeah, I remember when people were saying that Dean Ambrose should win the World Championship on his debut. Didn't happen. There's no way a no-name like AJ Styles should beat the top face of the WWE for the Championship in his debut match. If it was someone like Sting and they were challenging someone like Punk or Bryan, it could happen. Sting actually has been mentioned by WWE on multiple occasions, so people know he exist. A majority of the WWE fans have no clue who AJ Styles is. Not to mention he has no one near the charisma and star power that John Cena does to give him a win over Cena in his debut match. How did Punk debut? As a generic wrestler. How did Bryan debut? As a generic wrestler on NXT. I don't see why AJ Styles should be any different. |

Allen J. Styles, " but all my friends call me AJ", will come out to AJ Lee's exact music and graphics so that WWE can save money, but the two characters will never interact or have any type of link of WWE programming.

In all honesty, due to their ROH history, I'd love to see him in a feud with Punk or Bryan. But that would mean acknowledging TNA or ROH on the air, so the chances of that happening are about nill. Punk mentioned Ring of Honour by name during his first pipe bomb And Dolph Ziggler and Matt Hardy. Plus tons of mentions of ROH on WWE.com and photos. Plus mentions about Colt Cabana. Also Punks DVD had tons of ROH footage, him putting over Samoa Joe as one of his greatest opponents, and being interviewed in a ROH ring in the ROH training facility. I would just have him do a conditioning stint in NXT and make him feud immediately with Punk or Daniel Bryan or The Shield or Ziggler or Cena or Antonio someone who is a workforce who can deliver a MOTN any given night and have Styles win a classic making him look like a big deal right away. Even if half the crowd doesn't know who he is, there will be at least 25%-50% people losing their collective shit for him and praise him on how good he is and one impressive night will make tons of new fans Edit: or Christian |
