As rough as things have been for him lately, there are still a lot of things left for him to do in WWE.

Has there ever been an outside booked as well as AJ? Not even Jericho got a year long title run Not really
He's hardly had any stagnant time in regards to doing nothing since he came into WWE. He's always involved in something and his accomplishments are crazy for a guy who's had a 10 year career much less been there less than 5
2x WWE champ including a year long reign 2x US champ
Beat Cena clean when he was still active and rare to do
Walked into Mania as Champ and defended the title Every mania match he's had has been a featured match

Here's what I wanna see from AJ now. - Be in a tag team with a younger superstar, an example is Ali, he'd be a great asset - Become more of a tweener/heel - Go to Raw - Become a Grand Slam Champion Here's what I don't wanna see from AJ. - Be a face world champion for a long period of time like before. 2-3 months at MOST. I don't expect to see him before a face world champ for a long period again Essentially, that was his legacy run. Add to his HOF legacy
Tag and IC title is in his future at some point tho
Tagging with Ali which could trigger a heel turn for AJ is not a bad idea
AJ Styles/Finn Balor feud for the Intercontinental Championship. Bam. Money.

AJ Styles/Finn Balor feud for the Intercontinental Championship. Bam. Money. It would work
Neither guy would have to heel but obviously it would bring a lot of personality out of Finn with AJ yelling at him saying everybody who has led the BC has been World Champ in Japan except him. Finn may have started it but AJ made it relevant
Would be a cool feud and a lot of backstory for two guys who have never really interacted much

Looks like AJ's made it official.
Tbh, I like reading a guy announcing he's signed a new contract like this. It feels like something you'd see in a real sport. We need more of this.

I hope AJ broke up with ex girlfriends like that.
“Debbie, look at this cute picture of my dog! I never want to see you again. Isn’t he adorable?”

Yeah, I’d re-sign too to be honest. Dude’s gotten in a groove where he’s at the same level as literally every other big star they have and I hope with AEW probably throwing in an offer, he got a bucketload.

AJ Styles/Finn Balor feud for the Intercontinental Championship. Bam. Money. I think an heel AJ run with the IC belt would be money.

He is getting a huge paycheck, so not surprised he is staying with the E.

Does WWE ever announce contract extensions themselves or is it usually just found out through the dirtsheets?

Good to hear. I remember a report surfacing in February that he had signed a new deal, and AJ actually responded on Twitter. Not his exact words but it was basically ‘oh, I did? Tell me more, because this is the first time I’m hearing about it.’
I’m sure he was just keeping quiet until it was a done deal and his signature was on the contract.

AJ's run with WWE might be the shocker of the decade if I'm being honest. NOBODY would've called him getting this kind of run in WWE. Not 10 years ago, not 5 years ago, hell, not even the night he walked into the company. It's actually kind of helped WWE's typically terrible reputation with outsiders.

IMO the best thing about AJ Styles is that he makes you care about whatever storyline/feud he's in. Even if the match was AJ Styles vs. a potato, AJ would vividly describe how much he hates potatoes and describe all the stuff he's gonna do to the whole potato industry at (name of PPV).
His in-ring work is solid, but it just reminds me of a high-performance version of Dolph Ziggler.

Excellent. Dude has been booked so well since he's been there. I know his last title reign wasn't exactly stellar, but when people were complaining he had the belt too long, I was kinda thinking "Guys, this is AJ Styles - a dude we never thought would be here, in his 40's and still going hard. Aren't we taking him for granted".

It doesn't mean I don't get annoyed with the storylines too but for me as I said before I rather be complaining about AJ doing too much as opposed to doing nothing at all
I do think he was judged harshly in the Nak and Joe feuds as I did enjoy those matchups but I get it. At the end of the day AJ got treated better in his first year in WWE than TNA ever did for him much less his whole damn tenure in WWE which is HOF worthy by itself
