He was the first wrestler to complete the TNA Triple Crown Championship when he won the TNA X Division, NWA World Tag Team, and NWA World Heavyweight Championships. He is also the first wrestler to complete it more than once when he completed it five more times. Between WWE, TNA, and NJPW, he is a nine-time world champion.

On December 8, 2013, it was announced by TNA that Styles' contract negotiations had failed. He was later released from the company and became a free agent on December 17.[1]

New Japan Pro Wrestling

On March 27, 2014, Styles signed a contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling.[2] He debuted at Invasion Attack 2014 on April 6 where he attacked the IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada and hit his finishing move, the Styles Clash on him.
