The Dark Knight of TNA...

In recent weeks, we have noticed a change. A man that was once known as the 'face of TNA', now making his own path. Doesn't follow any rules, does what he wants, when he wants. And I LOVE every single second of it. THIS is the change we've been waiting for. To finally see AJ Styles being used in such a unique way, it makes sense why he was put in such a horror storyline to begin with.

From being accused by Daniels and Kazarian of sleeping with Dixie Carter to impregnating a drug addict. It drove him to the brink of insanity. But he got his revenge and cleared his name. But there was more hishaps to come for Styles, more than he could handle. His loss in the triple threat match between Bobby Roode, James Storm and himself was the end of the line for him. He was finally seeing the big picture. He claimed to have been tired of being ''TNA's corporate janitor'' or something along those lines.

So he decided that from that point on, he was gonna be a lone wolf. Only taking care of himself and nobody else. To the amusement of his detractors Bad Influence of course, who mocked his name for weeks and celebrated his decision to leave Impact Wrestling.

While there was chaos in TNA with Aces & Eights dominating the roster, AJ was nowhere to be found. TNA cameras did however catch him for a moment, and it was clear he was a changed man. The new AJ Styles was so full of anger and bitterness and couldn't care less about anyone. So he took off in his motorcycle. 2 weeks later, it's announced that he will return to Impact Wrestling. And he did, but not the way people expected it. He showed up after Daniels match with James Storm. With Bad Influence beating down 'The Cowboy', AJ came out in a rush with no music, attacked Kazarian and gave Daniels a cold, hard look. But in the blink of an eye, he attacked James Storm as well. People asking themselves, 'what happned to AJ Styles?'

The week after that, he was being interviewed by Mike Tenay about his actions. AJ didn't say a word and the Cowboy came out. Tried to get some explanation over why he did what he did. But there was nothing from AJ. Only a cold look and then he left the ring.

This is what we have got people. Now I don't know if there are people that are unhappy with the direction AJ has taken, but I believe it's a breath of fresh air. From his attire, to his disdained look to his quiet persona, this is a brilliant storyline by TNA management. I hope they keep this up with him, because I can see a bigger picture here. He should be neither face nor heel. Just someone that does things for his own good and doesn't care who he hurts, as long as it satisfies him.

This Thursday, AJ will finally speak out. Personally I would have had him be silent for a bit longer but I can understand why he must do so. TNA have the ball in their court, now is not the time to drop it. With AJ looking the best he's ever been, they simply must generate success...
