be a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble this year and make his debut?
Even if it's highly unlikely that WWE would sign him, due to his age and recently Jim Ross has said that WWE would prefer to make their own stars through the development system, would a Royal Rumble debut make you happy to see him in the WWE?

I'm too lazy to check where the Royal Rumble is, but they would definitely want to debut him in TNA/WCW territory to get the reaction they'd want. I'd even use his old theme if they could somehow get ahold of it, though I don't think there's ever been any cases besides Goldberg of people jumping ship with their old themes.

They'd have to change his name though. He can't be "AJ". They'd also have to find a way to cover that giant tattoo of his.

No. Styles is severely overrated by a very, very, very, very, very, very, very small part of the IWC & wrestling fans in general. He has nothing to offer the WWE's onscreen product.
If we're talking about WWE picking up TNA free agents, the conversation begins & ends with Matt Morgan.

No. I'd rather "waste" a spot on a returning legend like Godfather, Duggan or Road Dogg last couple years. AJ Styles does nothing for me.

Definitely. AJ will be lost in the mid card shuffle.

AJ Styles is vastly overrated. That dude brings nothing that a bunch of guys that some of the guys in WWE/NXT can't do and he has no real name value. Flat no.

Like most of these questions.... I wouldn't particularly dislike it.

No one would have any clue who he is.

I'm surprised by all this AJ Styles hate. Even though he's slowing down a little bit due to age, he's still one of the most athletically gifted talents not currently in WWE, and can work with just about anybody. When I say athletically gifted, I mean he can fly like Adrian Nevelle and lift a guy the size of Abyss onto his shoulders in a torture rack.
Sure he has a southern accent which seems to not work well in the WWE, but he's not THAT bad on the mic. I feel that he's worked hard enough in his career to this point that he deserves the opportunity to showcase what he can do. If it works, it works and if it don't, well then it don't. He's earned the right to try though in my opinion.
I'd also love to see one more Bryan vs Styles match. Those two can put on an awesome match together.

The silence would be deafening. Outside of a small minority, most WWE fans don't know who he is. That countdown from 10 to reveal some random guy would not be a good way to debut anyone.

Unless he's gonna do something big like eliminate Del Rio or some other former World champ, no. I think people are seriously overestimating AJ's exposure. The majority of WWE fans have no idea what TNA even is and a good chunk of the fans that do know about them just don't care. He'd get a reaction, for sure, but nothing that would blow the roof off the joint. It'd be way too easy for him to get lost in the shuffle in the Rumble.
They'd be much better off building up his debut with hype videos.

That countdown from 10 to reveal some random guy would not be a good way to debut anyone. would depend if they spent any time on doing some spots (like they did when RVD came back) with clips of him in ring then a week or two before the rumble ending them with "AJ Styles debuts at the royal rumble!" granted RVD is better known to WWE fans generally speaking but that way it's not random guy just showing up out of nowhere. |

He really should've got that tattoo on his leg, instead. He can't become NXT breakout star Moregon Trail with his initials in plain sight.

He's never going to be in WWE, ESPECIALLY with that hideous tattoo.
