WWE: AJ Styles on Retirement Plans for His Wrestling Career, New York Street Fight Match Set for NXT Roadblock 2025, Ric Flair on John Cena Potentially Breaking His World Title Record

AJ Styles Comments on His Retirement Plans for His Wrestling Career

A recent episode of the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast featured AJ Styles as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Styles’ current retirement plans for his wrestling career.

“I will not wrestle to 50, I promise you that.”

In response to host Chris Van Vliet stating that Styles has not lost a step in the ring, Styles stated:

“I think I hide it very well. Things aren’t as easy as they used to be. The first thing you lose as you get older is your stamina. That’s the first thing to go. You still got that power, but the stamina…

I’m not afraid of retirement. I think it’s going to be great once I get there and can say, ‘Phew, I did it.’ But for me, it’s doing it correctly. The retirement, doing it correctly, something that I’m confident in like, ‘That was it, that was the one.’ I hope that’s what The Undertaker felt.

It’s a final match, but it’s the story that led up to it, I think, I hope.

No opponent in mind. An idea that I will not share with you that I thought if I could get The Undertaker in the ring with me, that I wanted to do. But there’s an idea there that I think kind of sums up who AJ Styles is. We’ll see if it happens. You’ll know it if it does, but we’ll have to wait and see.”
