WWE Latest News: AJ Styles May Be Signing With WWE; The Miz Says Wrestlers Are 'Tested Non-Stop'
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA Wrestling) veteran AJ Styles may be signing with the World Wrestling Entertainment.
In a report by Bill Pritchard for WrestleZone, the 38-year-old professional wrestler is rumored to have already given his notice to New Japan Pro Wrestling that he was leaving the said company for the WWE. Initial reports have also claimed that he had already signed a deal, but follow-up news on it say he has not formally inked an agreement yet.
In another report by Ryan Satin for WrestleZone Radio and Pro Wrestling Sheet, there already is an offer for Styles but nothing has been made official yet by the WWE. The report adds that his fellow wrestlers from the said company may also be headed for the big show, namely Karl Anderson, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Doc Gallows.
Styles' professional wrestling career has been an illustrious one, despite not yet having signed with the most prominent promotion company in the world. In TNA alone, he won the Heavyweight title twice and was also the inaugural TNA X Division champion, which he held a total of six times.
He is also the first man to win the TNA Grand Slam championship, a feat he was also able to accomplish twice. Styles left the company in 2013, where he performed in independent circuits afterwards, before signing with New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2014.
Meanwhile, former WWE champion The Miz recently spoke about the recent state of the company's drug testing policies.
In a report by Cageside Seats, the 35-year-old professional wrestler first compared the WWE's guidelines with the NFL's and the NBA's, noting that wrestlers undergo more tests than the players of the said leagues.
"I mean, we are tested nonstop, all day, every day," he said, according to the Cageside Seats report. "We're not allowed to have Sudafed. [If] you have a Sudafed, you're out 30 days, so it's legit."
The Miz adds that they are tested every six months, which includes their hearts being monitored and blood tests.
