Nick Paglino of Wrestlezone.com is reporting that amid all of the press regarding the departure of AJ Styles is indeed a work. Their source was quoted as saying
"The statement Styles issued yesterday was a work, and a blasphemous one at that,"
As we also exclusively reported, one source within TNA alluded to us that the entire situation was indeed a work. With that being said, please take rumors of all forms with a serious grain of salt.

Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer stated on their podcast that many people are skeptical about Styles parting ways with TNA. Some within the company believe that Styles signed a new deal and his statement from yesterday and his independent bookings are part of the storyline.
