During a Fanatics Live signing over the weekend, WWE Superstar and former TNA World Champion AJ Styles was asked about the possibility of being inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame. Styles shared that while TNA had expressed interest in honoring him, he ultimately declined out of respect for WWE, feeling that it wouldn’t be appropriate to accept the induction while under contract with another company. He said,
“There was a time they wanted me to come in and be in the TNA Hall of Fame. I just thought it was a little disrespectful at the time, to WWE, to go into the TNA Hall Of Fame. I want to go into the Hall of Fame when I’m done wrestling. I think that’s more appropriate. There are a lot of places I’ve wrestled and I’m very thankful that I can be in any Hall of Fame. I’m gonna wait until I’m done.”
He continued, “I’m still an active wrestler…I hope. I made the decision not to go into the TNA HOF, not WWE. I appreciate TNA, but I don’t want to go into any HOF as long as I’m still active. My choice.”
