AJ Styles' Epic TNA Return Electrifies Slammiversary 2025
Let me tell you—Slammiversary 2025 was nothing short of phenomenal. And I mean that quite literally, because AJ Styles —yes, the AJ Styles—made his long-awaited return to TNA after 12 long years. The UBS Arena in New York was already buzzing, but when Styles’ music hit, the entire place absolutely exploded. Over 7,600 fans erupted in what became TNA’s largest North American attendance in history. It was goosebumps from the moment he walked out.

The reason for his return? To honor and hype none other than Leon Slater, TNA’s youngest-ever X-Division Champion. Slater had just pulled off a jaw-dropping victory over Moose with a Swanton Bomb followed by a 450 Splash—pure electricity. Moose handed him the title, and then boom—cue AJ Styles' theme, and the crowd lost their minds.
Styles didn’t just show up for a cameo. He got into the ring, looked Slater in the eyes, and passed the torch in a way that only a true legend could. He reminded the world what the X-Division means, what it has meant for over two decades, and how it represents the future of wrestling. And now, that future is Leon Slater.
Before the show, Styles posted a heartfelt letter to his younger self on social media titled, “Two Eras. One Legacy.” It was raw and real. He spoke about his journey—the highs, the doubts, and the moments that defined him. He told himself, “You’re not just phenomenal. You’re built for this.” That message hit home for a lot of us watching.
This wasn’t just nostalgia—it felt like a generational moment. Styles’ return didn’t just draw a record crowd; it reignited a sense of legacy in TNA. And let’s be honest—after over a decade away, seeing the man who helped build the X-Division return to elevate its newest star was poetry in motion.
And here’s the kicker: the buzz around backstage suggests this isn’t the last we’ll see of AJ Styles in a TNA ring. There's already speculation that this surprise appearance could lead to a future match, maybe even one more run under the TNA banner. With WWE and TNA apparently working together on some level, the possibilities are wide open.
So yeah, Slammiversary 2025 was historic for a lot of reasons—but make no mistake, AJ Styles’ return made it unforgettable.
