Having AEW as a likely legitimate option may have given him additional leverage for pay and schedule as he wrestles deeper into his 40s.<\/p>\n<p>Styles, 41, joined WWE in January 2016 after a stint with New Japan. He spent a dozen of his prime years in TNA Impact Wrestling, bookended by ROH.<\/p>\n<p>He is widely considered one of the top all-around in-ring workers of the past 20 years. Although the length of the contract hasn&#8217;t been released, it&#8217;s likely this WWE contract means the rest of his full time main eventing days will be with WWE.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is the newest member of my family.
