AJ Styles is on the clock as his 2026 retirement approaches, but theres one TNA star who wants to test him before he hangs up his boots.
During an interview with The Stunner, current TNA World Champion Mike Santana put out a direct challenge to The Phenomenal Oneand he made it clear this isnt just any match. Santana wants AJ Styles in a TNA ring, with the world title on the line.
Santana emphasized how much it would mean to go one-on-one with Styles in the company that helped make him a legend.
Styles returned to TNA for the first time in over a decade at Slammiversary 2025, and with WWE already preparing a full-blown retirement tour for 2026, the door is clearly open for one last match in TNA. Santanas challenge could set the stage for a truly unforgettable showdown if WWE allows the cross-promotional moment to happen.
Whether this dream match becomes a reality is up to both companies to figure out, but the message from Santana is loud and clear: he wants AJ Stylesand he wants him in TNA.
