AJ Styles update
Added 2024-09-25 17:03:22 +0000 UTCAJ Styles’ future in wrestling is uncertain.
Styles has been off WWE television for a number of months, leading many to question where he’s been of late. When Fightful last asked we were told that he’s healthy, off television, and enjoying time with his family. He did work the Japan live event tour, working title matches with Cody Rhodes, but has largely been off WWE TV since Clash at the Castle.
Those within the industry that Fightful spoke with are of the belief that AJ Styles’ WWE contract is up either late this year or early next year. We’ve not heard if there have been efforts to re-sign him or if he has plans moving forward. We’re working to clarify the status of his contract, but numerous influential names within the industry and some who have worked with Styles believe it’s up this year.
Fightful has not gained confirmation from Styles, his reps or WWE on his status

2024-09-25 20:51:12 +0000 UTCGot at least to the beginning of next year to see if that's possible

2024-09-25 20:34:31 +0000 UTCSo you have personally talked to him in the last month or so to state that as a fact?

2024-09-25 20:17:44 +0000 UTCI don’t know that Omega is that close to being cleared himself. Honestly, he should seriously be considering retirement because his body is beat to hell.

2024-09-25 20:10:26 +0000 UTCIIRC, didn't AJ say he was retiring after this contract ended back when he signed it?

2024-09-25 19:09:23 +0000 UTCI know he's just going to re-sign with WWE, but having him in AEW would be really cool! Even if it's just for a year or two. Have him do a Wrestle Kingdom, or Wrestle Dynasty. Even a part time schedule would be fine. Save him for ppvs, have him involved in stories, but not wrestling on weekly tv, or maybe a quick match here or there.

2024-09-25 17:31:24 +0000 UTCYeah, it just feels like he's winding down his career & preparing for an eventual in ring retirement. I don't think he wants to wrestle when he's much older.

2024-09-25 17:31:13 +0000 UTCI’d love to see him get a brief AEW run to play off of some of his history and maybe squeeze in a few dream matches for fans before he hangs up his boots, but I’m also completely fine if he feels like he has accomplished everything he wanted to and just wants to call it a career while his body is still relatively healthy. Honestly, he’s proven that he’s among the best to ever do it, so he’s earned the right to do whatever he wants at this point.

2024-09-25 17:26:57 +0000 UTCYou don't know that
Tucker
2024-09-25 17:26:27 +0000 UTCHonestly, I would be ok if AJ only did 1 match at AEW, and retired. Styles vs Omega would be an insane main event at All In Texas
Jerrod Hazelwood
2024-09-25 17:25:41 +0000 UTCI don't see it happening, but it would be amazing to see him in AEW
Tucker
2024-09-25 17:25:33 +0000 UTCAew to end his career. Tons of dream matches
Charles Lee Ray
2024-09-25 17:21:49 +0000 UTCBro got to retire the Undertaker. What else is there for him in WWE? That's a pretty high milestone imo.

2024-09-25 17:21:47 +0000 UTCAJ strikes me as the type of guy based on interviews he’s done who is winding down his career he made it clear previously this would be his last contract in wrestling. If I where a betting man I think he either signs a part time deal with WWE or makes the transition into a coach at the PC
Matt Hennessy
2024-09-25 17:20:48 +0000 UTCAJ could retire and he'd have two HOF inductions waiting for him. I'm good if he calls it a career 🐐
David Majors
2024-09-25 17:20:33 +0000 UTCTime to enjoy a part time AEW deal
David C
2024-09-25 17:20:22 +0000 UTCHe doesn’t want to

2024-09-25 17:19:57 +0000 UTCHappy retirement Mr. Phenomenal.
Lawrence Robinson
2024-09-25 17:19:30 +0000 UTCAJ Styles v Will Ospreay give it to me asap
Ryan
2024-09-25 17:19:17 +0000 UTCHe should go to aew
uriah montfleury
2024-09-25 17:19:04 +0000 UTCI could see AJ going to AEW to wrap up his career. New faces, new chances to end things how he wants to. Nothing against WWE, but it would be a return to a style he spent his career doing.
Lynchman
2024-09-25 17:18:47 +0000 UTCIt doesn’t matter where he goes I just hope he goes on one last good run before he hang them up
