AJ Styles has officially ridden into the sunset. It was certain that The Phenomenal One would not be wrestling in WWE anymore. However, on the recent RAW episode, he assured that he is retired from wrestling itself and won’t be running the ropes again. Nonetheless, he confirmed he would be with WWE for different reasons.
While speaking on Talk n’ Shop Live, Styles stated his dreams of helping out younger talents and making them ready for the big leagues. He mentioned how relaxed he felt the morning after the RAW tribute show. AJ understood how chill it felt knowing he didn’t have to wrestle next week again. That’s when he took the topic in hand and claimed that he is not done with WWE, though.
Thanks for the submission!
His job in the future would be molding new talents to get them to where they feel they have achieved something. He aims to take them to the point where they feel confident being in a WWE ring. The former WWE Champion claimed that being able to help any talented boy or girl would feel like a blessing to him.
“I’m still gonna be working with WWE. That’s not gonna change. I have these dreams and aspirations of helping out the younger talent and helping them get ready. If somebody’s not ready [who] wants to get there, it’s my job to hopefully help get them to that point where they can do well, and they’re confident when they step into a WWE ring,” AJ Styles said.

AJ Styles debunks any rumors surrounding his AEW debut
While speaking about his retirement, AJ Styles said, “Guys, I’m retired from wrestling in the ring.” If it wasn’t clear to anyone that The Phenomenal One is not just done with WWE but done with wrestling, AJ made sure everyone knows. On the same podcast, Styles chose to address and reiterate that he is not being put in WWE because AEW can’t take him. It is just that Styles is going nowhere now, and an honor is overdue.
AJ mentioned that he is fortunate to be retiring on his own terms and on his two feet. He was ready for this for a long time, unlike any other wrestler who might get hurt and trade their career for it and then retire.
