AJ Styles Issues Statement Regarding TNA’s Potential Lawsuit

Yesterday, it was reported that TNA is doing everything they can to save face as far as the AJ Styles situation with WWE goes. The problem is TNA thinking about a potential lawsuit and trying to save face is putting a massive wedge between the company and Styles.

It really doesn’t matter though because the latest details from the situation are that AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Doc Gallows may have had a “handshake agreement”, but nothing was signed.

“No contract was ever finalized nor signed by the parties.

That I would need to be involved in the contract process was known by TNA prior to my involvement and understood by them.

TNA and its 1st lawyer did not present in a timely fashion a contract that accurately reflected previous discussions at all. That created great concern tied to past experiences. In that time and prior there was other interest, and there were other firm offers on the table and other discussions.

TNA was aware of other interest and various conflicts. TNA was aware a final contract was required. It was creating that contract and controlled that timetable. Too much time passed early on. Other things came into play. No contract was ever finalized with TNA.

To suggest I make any decision for my clients is to misunderstand my role and diminish the role each talent has in making their own decisions, and insults the talent in the process.”

Unfortunately for TNA, that doesn’t give them the right to do anything in court, and all they can do is create some negative press for AJ as he debuts with WWE, which they have already done.
