According to reports, it appears AJ Styles will be returning to the X Division again shortly after capturing the NWA World Heavyweight Title for a second time in May. From what is being said, the apparent reason for Styles dropping the title at Slammiversary was due to the lack of future challengers for him to face in the company. Some feel the previous bookers didn't think that out much and the new booking committee was the first to note the problem. It should be noted that Styles had no problem dropping the title.

TNA is expected to announce a national DVD distribution deal very soon. This is something the company has been behind on for the last three years or so and will no doubt help them in a big way if a deal is secured. While on the topic of DVDs, "Enigma: The Best of Jeff Hardy" and the Destination X PPV are all scheduled to go on sale next week.

WrestleMag.com recently conducted an interview with Cassidy Riley, who noted that he would be given a contract with TNA once they finalize a new TV deal. For those unaware, Riley and Team Canada's Eric Young help out behind the scenes in the TNA offices doing day to day work.
