AJ Styles Talks Retirement, WWE Run, and His TNA Legacy

Published on

AJ Styles shares thoughts on his career, the possibility of retirement, and his impact on wrestling.


Summary

– Styles reflects on his time in WWE and TNA, discussing key moments and rivalries

– He addresses retirement speculation and how long he plans to keep wrestling

– Styles talks about injuries, his legacy, and his vision for a WWE-TNA crossover

AJ Styles has been at the top of professional wrestling for decades, but retirement is now a topic he can’t avoid. He recently opened up about his future, stating he doesn’t see himself wrestling into his 50s. While he hasn’t set a specific date, Styles made it clear that when the time comes, he wants his final match to be meaningful, not just a random send-off.

Looking back, Styles admitted that things might not have worked out if he had gone to WWE earlier in his career. His time in TNA allowed him to develop into the performer he is today. He also credited his years in Japan for sharpening his skills before making his long-awaited WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble. The reaction he received that night removed any doubt about whether he belonged in the company.

Injuries have been another factor in his career decisions. He spoke about a foot injury worse than initially believed, nearly forcing him to walk away. While he recovered, Styles admitted that managing pain and recovery is now a constant part of his routine.

Regarding his legacy, Styles was asked about a potential Mount Rushmore of TNA. He named himself Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, and Kurt Angle as the four wrestlers who defined the promotion. He also said he would love to see WWE and TNA work together, believing there are plenty of opportunities for cross-promotion.

As for what’s next, Styles knows the end of his career is coming sooner rather than later. He doesn’t plan to stick around to take up a roster spot, but he still has goals left to accomplish. Until he steps away, he remains committed to giving fans the best performances possible.
