Man we might get AJ v Okada , v Ospreay and Omega. Triple O sounds like a good idea .

But yeah AJ has been one of the best in the world for almost 30 years. Dude was the face of RoH and TNA, and major player in NJPW and of course WWE. He’s definitely earned his retirement. And quite honestly I don’t ever see him being a top guy in wwe again so I’m good with this.

yup and in my opinion if the only company that aj styles would be that forever type top guy which actually does makes sense is in tna and njpw

which is in a way funny when it comes to the term being the top guy because when mr woo woo woo left wwe as a jobber he went into the indies like gcw and nwa got promoted to main eventer and since then still is one of the top guy in the indies

and its the same with cody rhodes when he left wwe as a jobber and then joined the indies and other top main companys became there top guy in roh nwa njpw tna and aew then left those companys rejoined the wwe as the new top guy

I think people who didn't watch/haven't watched 2000s ROH mistakenly view AJ as one of the "face of ROH" guys but that was certainly never the case. Joe, Danielson and Punk, yes. Then you also have Ki, Homicide, McGuinness and Aries, just from the 2000s ... AJ was never one of those primary guys for ROH, presumably because he was a main TNA guy right off the bat and didn't have the availability of the others. I think he will get inducted into the ROH HOF someday as long as it carries on, but he's probably not one of the top 20 most important guys in that company's history.

I don’t even think of AJ as an ROH guy at all

I feel like this is an unannounced AJ farewell tour too. In this tour they are giving both AJ and Cena each other one last time.

Honestly didn't even realize he ever did ROH

His best time was actually post TNA/Pre NJPW in the 2010s with some NJPW bullet Club crossover if I remember right. Prior to that he was more like just a guest from TNA as Hoss said
