AJ Styles will once again make an appearance for TNA as he has been announced for the first episode of Impact on AMC.
On January 9, TNA let the fans know that The Phenomenal One would be live and in attendance for the January 15 premiere as part of the debut show on the network following the new media rights deal. No further information has been provided regarding what Styles will be doing on the show.
