This is incredible:
Congrats to TNA Original @AJStylesOrg on his debut tonight. Wish him all the best.

After releasing a statement that seemed curiously timed to coincide with his possibly debuting in the Royal Rumble match, the folks at TNA watched him do just that and decided to send out the above tweet congratulating him on as much. We can't say for sure that they released info on contract negotiations between the two sides to affect any plans WWE may or may not have had in place, but there's no doubting it was a strange decision that looks even worse in hindsight. Perhaps the tweet is an attempt, lame as it may be, to make up for it.
