It seems we have a pretty good idea of what AJ Styles<\/a> will be doing later tonight at TNA Slammiversary<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Thursday night, in the closing moments of TNA iMPACT, the company revealed its worst-kept secret this week: WWE Superstar The Phenomenal AJ Styles would be appearing this Sunday at Slammiversary. <\/p>\n

But what exactly will he be doing on the show? If we look at two separate interviews that have taken place over the past few months, we seemingly have our answer. <\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Frankie Kazarian<\/a> sat down with Mike Johnson of PWInsider<\/a> to discuss this weekend\u2019s Slammiversary pay-per-view. During the interview, Kazarian touched on his yet-to-be-revealed role for Sunday\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing has been announced for me,\u201d Kazarian said. \u201cHowever\u2014biggest show of the year, celebration of TNA itself, UBS Arena, one of our biggest venues ever\u2014my presence will be felt. I will go ahead and guarantee that right now. Call my shot, however you wanna say it, however you wanna frame it. Frankie Kazarian, the king of TNA, will make his presence felt at Slammiversary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later in the interview, Kazarian offered his interesting thoughts on Styles\u2019 return on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you say [Phenomenal], it holds a lot of weight with TNA fans,\u201d Kazarian said. \u201cI\u2019ll be the first to greet [AJ Styles]\u2014but I will also let him know that this is now the house that Kaz built. He\u2019s welcome in it, but when I tell him to leave, he\u2019s gotta leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

AJ Styles teased a match with Frankie Kazarian in TNA months ago<\/p>\n

If Kazarian\u2019s comments aren\u2019t enough of a hint, Styles spoke on the partnership between WWE and TNA back in April during a Fanatics panel at WrestleMania 41 weekend<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love [the WWE and TNA partnership]. I still have a couple of friends there, and I would love to have the opportunity to go back and wrestle at least one more match in TNA,\u201d AJ Styles said.<\/p>\n

As for who he would pick as his opponent?<\/p>\n

\u201cFrankie Kazarian. 100 percent,\u201d Styles said.<\/p>\n

Well, there you have it. <\/p>\n

WrestleZone will have live coverage of TNA Slammiversary later on this evening.<\/p>\n
