At Slammiversary 2025, AJ Styles made a stunning comeback to TNA Wrestling after eleven years of absence. According to TNA Wrestling, the audience went crazy when the "Phenomenal One" entered the same ring that helped propel his legendary career. The look wasn't just for show, even though he didn't wrestle. In a way that only AJ could, Styles grabbed the mic and gave a sincere shout-out to Leon Slater, referring to him as "the future" and passing the torch.

AJ Styles is back in TNA.

Prior to making his long-awaited return to TNA, AJ Styles shared a heartwarming message on X (formerly Twitter). “You’re not just phenomenal. You’re built for this,” Styles wrote in a letter to his younger self. As AJ entered the ring, the crowd understandably erupted.

It was a moment that really hit home, like, one of those rare wrestling scenes where the past meets the future in real time. During the live show, the makers announced that this year’s Slammiversary also pulled in 7,682 fans at New York’s UBS Arena, the biggest turnout for a TNA show in North America ever, Sports Illustrated reported.

The recent agreement between WWE and TNA, which began earlier this year, allowed AJ to make an appearance since he is currently a WWE Raw celebrity. Numerous cross-brand appearances have resulted from that partnership, such as NXT talent showing up in TNA and the opposite.

Jacy Jayne triumphs

At the moment, both of TNA's major championships are held by NXT wrestlers. Trick Williams is the TNA World Champion, and Jacy Jayne just won the Knockouts Championship by defeating Masha Slamovich at Slammiversary. The contest involving Jayne was harsh. Although both ladies gave it their all, Slamovich appeared completely exhausted toward the end. Jayne pinned her cleanly after executing her Rolling Encore finisher at that moment.

She is currently the holder of two prestigious titles, the NXT Women's Title and the Knockouts Championship, thanks to that victory. Slammiversary 2025 felt like a new beginning, with Styles back in a TNA ring, younger talent getting their opportunity, and the two companies now collaborating.
