WWE’s recent shakeups have left many wondering about the future of their top stars, including AJ Styles. After a highly publicized departure from the ring, Styles has been quietly working behind the scenes, helping to shape the next generation of WWE talent. And, as seen in a recent photo, he’s not just limited to working within the WWE bubble.
Styles was spotted training with AEW wrestler Anthony Ogogo, a former Olympic boxer turned professional wrestler. The session, which took place in a private gym on WWE property, suggests that Styles is committed to sharing his expertise with talent from other promotions.
“Styles is a highly respected figure in the wrestling industry, and his expertise is invaluable,” said a WWE insider. “He’s always been passionate about mentoring young talent, and this new role allows him to do just that. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved – the WWE gets to tap into his experience, and the next generation of wrestlers gets to learn from one of the best.”
The photo of Styles training with Ogogo has sparked excitement among wrestling fans, who are eager to see the 42-year-old wrestler’s next move. While there’s been no official confirmation from the WWE, sources close to Cody Rhodes suggest that Styles’ transition to a behind-the-scenes role could be a stepping stone for future opportunities.
“Cody was instrumental in bringing AJ on board, and he’s been instrumental in helping him navigate this new chapter in his career,” said a source close to Rhodes. “AJ’s passion for mentoring and teaching is unmatched, and Cody sees huge potential in him as a trainer and developer. This is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter in AJ’s career.”
As the wrestling landscape continues to evolve, Styles’ dual role has significant implications for the WWE’s talent pipeline. By working with talent from other promotions, he’s helping to build a more diverse and dynamic roster – one that’s better equipped to compete in the ever-changing world of professional wrestling.
“WWE has always prided itself on being a leader in the industry, and AJ’s new role is a testament to that,” said the WWE insider. “By investing in talent development and training, we’re not just building a stronger roster – we’re building a more sustainable future for our company.”
The WWE’s commitment to talent development has been a key factor in its recent success. With a new generation of stars emerging, the pressure is on to ensure that the next crop of talent is equipped to take on the challenges of the ring.
“Anthony Ogogo is an excellent example of what AJ is looking for in talent,” said the source close to Cody Rhodes. “He’s got a unique skillset and a strong work ethic, and AJ is helping him to hone his craft. It’s a partnership that’s going to pay off big time in the long run.”
As the wrestling world continues to buzz about Styles’ new role, one thing is clear: AJ Styles is still very much a part of the WWE family – even if he’s no longer competing in the ring.
“Styles is just getting started,” said the WWE insider. “This is a new chapter in his career, and it’s one that’s going to be filled with excitement and opportunity. We’re all looking forward to seeing what he has in store for us next.”
Only time will tell what the future holds for Styles, but one thing is certain – he’s left an indelible mark on the world of professional wrestling, and his influence will be felt for years to come.
