AJ Styles WWE contract soon to ‘expire’

Aside from several non-televised events in Japan throughout the summer, AJ Styles has been mainly missing from WWE TV since Clash at the Castle, raising questions about his whereabouts and future status with the organization.

According to Fightfulselect.com, Styles’ future in wrestling is “uncertain,” especially because his current deal with WWE is expected to expire either late this year or early in 2025, with the former timetable (later this year) being considered more accurate.

Despite the most recent WWE rumors of Bliss making her return, PWInsider says that there are no plans to put Alexa Bliss on television in the near future. According to the article, she is not anticipated to return until the Christmas season, which means she will most likely not return until 2025.

According to PWInsider, WWE and TKO are seeking to optimize what they’re generating, so there’s no rush to bring Alexa Bliss back on Raw or SmackDown.
