In relation to the Kofi angle, I’d love if AJ brought up this contract and says he can easily rip it up and go somewhere else if Vince doesn’t put Kofi in the WM title match.

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. I actually look forward to Styles-Orton as their promo illustrate exactly what turned so many people off to WWE in the day (Cena and/or Orton always on top).

Meltzer said in WON that while Styles is friends with the Young Bucks and while AEW would liked to have had Styles, Styles expressed little interest. I also wonder if AEW isn't too much of a question mark for him. For a lot of people who have a lot of years left on their career, who aren't happy with WWE, who aren't happy in WWE, it's probably a really promising opportunity worth trying out, knowing they'll have time to try and make up for that and come back if it fails. As of a few years ago AJ wasn't even going to resign he was just a one-and-done on this contract and then he'd call it. WWE is the guaranteed money with much less chance of failure or premature end, so it doesn't make a whole ton of sense to take a big gamble like that.

Makes sense Styles actually had a desire to be in WWE and you can see he is enjoying every last min of it and no doubt he is raking in the big dough as Vince loves him They treat Styles like an Ace and he essentially stepped into that vet leadership that Cena left behind
That's one thing that can't be overlooked. It took him no time to become one of Vince's guys. He's in a company where he doesn't just know who the boss is (one thing he mentioned in his Austin podcast appearance), the boss loves him. That relationship with Vince is a big plus for him.

There's really no reason that he, AJ Styles, should go to AEW. More opponents and different storylines is one but with his position on the card, the card they're treating him well, the money, the perks, AJ's status is one everyone should aspire to be if they come into the company. It doesn't get any better than that.
