5 times WWE Superstars were almost persuaded out of the company

#4. AJ Styles - The Good Brothers tried to pursue him out of WWE

Luke/Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson were released from WWE during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. AJ Styles was furious about it, especially since he was the one who convinced them to re-sign with WWE. Eventually, they found a home in IMPACT Wrestling and have found success ever since.

The Good Brothers openly told Sportskeeda that they were trying to pursue AJ Styles to leave WWE and sign with IMPACT Wrestling:

"Ultimately, we're going to talk AJ Styles into coming back to IMPACT. That's what we're doing every single day. We're texting him and telling him to come back."

This isn't the first time AJ Styles will be featured on this list. It isn't surprising since he is widely considered the greatest in-ring talent of his generation. However, it seems like Gallows and Anderson's attempt at pursuing AJ Styles back to IMPACT Wrestling didn't work out. He is signed to WWE for another few years.
