Original Story
PWInsider is reporting that several sources have told them that AJ Styles and WWE have agreed to all the major points for a new contract. Some within the company believe that a deal may have already been officially signed, but that isn’t 100% confirmed yet.
Styles’ contract was reportedly set to expire at the end of April.
The two sides have been in negotiations for months, with reports from last November saying that Styles was seeking a reduced schedule, similar to the deal that Randy Orton has, where he works most television dates, but has more limited live show dates.
Reports were that AEW would have obviously been interested in Styles if he chose to not sign with WWE, but the expectation all along was that he was going to re-sign.
