Ken Anderson announced that next week, on the May 23rd episode of Impact Wrestling, AJ Styles will officially join the Aces & Eights.
The “Phenomenal One” has been at odds with everyone since making his return earlier this year, upset by Hulk Hogan’s 2012 ruling that he could not fight for a World title until Bound for Glory 2013. However, the Impact general manager still held on to hope that Styles would do the right thing, putting him in a match with Kurt Angle and Sting against the Aces & Eights. Instead, AJ walked out on his former friends, leaving the building altogether – the Hulkster had to bring back “The Monster” Abyss to pull out the win for Team TNA.
As a result, AJ Styles will face Kurt Angle at Slammiversary next month. But will he do so as a member of the Aces & Eights? Find out next week, when Impact Wrestling airs live from Tampa, Florida!
