In a shocking turn of events, AJ Styles announced his departure from WWE, leaving fans and fellow wrestlers alike wondering what the future holds for the wrestling icon. While it’s clear that Styles is done as a full-time in-ring performer, sources close to the situation suggest that his wrestling career may not be as retired as initially thought.
A New Chapter for AJ Styles?
According to a WWE insider, Styles has been exploring potential opportunities outside of the ring, including a possible transition into a backstage role or even a part-time in-ring schedule. This news comes as a surprise to many, given the magnitude of Styles’ departure from WWE. However, it’s not entirely unexpected, considering the wrestler’s passion for the sport and his long-standing relationships within the industry.
“We’ve seen this before with other wrestlers who’ve transitioned into different roles,” said the insider. “AJ’s got a lot of experience, and he’s got a lot to offer. Whether it’s as a producer, a talent scout, or even a part-time performer, there are plenty of opportunities for him to stay involved in the business.”
