Styles was quoted as saying
I told WWE I really appreciate this, but I can’t move to Cincinnati and leave my family. I felt my wife's dream came first, she wanted to be a teacher and didn't want to ruin that. I think it was the best decision I've ever made in my life.
AJ decided to sign for TNA, where he became a well-known wrestler and one of the best in the world, finally years later he joined WWE in 2016.
Much love and respect to AJ Styles, family above every other thing
