More Details on AJ Styles' Short-Term TNA Deal

As we reported earlier today, AJ Styles has signed a short term contract extension with TNA that is set to expire shortly after Bound For Glory.

PWInsider.com reports that what happens with TNA and Styles following the PPV will be up to how close the two sides can come to reaching a financial agreement. As we have been reporting for the past few days, the issue between TNA and Styles is money, and if the right amount is offered to Styles, he will remain with the company.
