Report: WWE signs AJ Styles/Gallows/Anderson/Nakamura from New Japan

[The Legend]

^^^ The new heel stable formed last night was made up of Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas and Axel Rose or whatever his name actually is. They'll be broken up by Valentine's Day.

I don't think they can come in as a full stable anyway. Nakamura is sticking around in NJPW for at least a couple months probably.

I think it's more likely that Anderson and Gallows come in and align with Balor than it is they come in and align with Styles.

Yeah, although never once does it say they're signed either. I know Joey Styles has a lot of freedom with the website lately, but I can't imagine they would do something like this unless it was all but done.

More then just seeing Styles in WWE at all, I would go crazy if WWE found a way to use a form of his TNA theme. I love that theme.

GET READY TO FLY.

As someone who was a regular TNA watcher for a number of years, it's almost unreal that I'm witnessing a time when Sting, Samoa Joe, James Storm, AJ Styles and potentially Austin Aries are all working for WWE and are being treated like legit stars. Get Bobby Roo in there and the circle is complete.

I obviously have my doubts that they'll use Styles correctly, but skipping NXT and going straight to the main roster is promising news if true. They know this is their biggest signing since Sting - bigger if you take into account all that Styles can do for the company if he's used right. The good thing about Styles is that even if he's wrestling in random matches every week with no storyline, he will still be one of the best parts of the show. He's just a really solid hand that can work any kind of wrestling style and has an awesome moveset.

I'm looking forward to this year's road to Wrestlemania for the first time.

Storm is supposedly going back to TNA soon I read the other day. He must have Stockholm Syndrome or something after all these years.

Twitter is a trollin' with this news. If this doesn't happen it'll be a massive disappointment now.

WWE retweeted Balor's last one too. WWE also hashtagged #BulletClub. Is this real life?

[DBSoT]

^Based on that, if it doesn't happen then WWE are the biggest assholes in the world. You can't tease your fans like that and then not deliver. That is just cruel.

This is true, but WWE gets off on treating its fans like shit.

They offered him more than twice as much money as the NXT deal, and it's guaranteed money even if TNA goes out of business.

Fair enough, it's just a bit disappointing to see him going back there likely for the remainder of his career. I would have liked to see what he could do outside of that environment.
