WWE Hall of Famer Says AJ Styles Is Not Finished With Wrestling
As a result of the WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event that took place on January 31, AJ Styles’ wrestling career appears to have come to an end. He was defeated by Gunther in a Career Threatening Match, bringing his 27-year career to a dramatic conclusion. Wrestling retirements, on the other hand, are not known for being permanent, and the world has not stopped discussing about whether or not Styles will return to the ring, and more importantly, whose company he will be working for. Booker T, a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, discussed the retirement of AJ Styles on his podcast titled “Hall of Fame.” He stated that he did not anticipate the conclusion of the encounter between Styles and Gunther, but he did anticipate another match for “The Phenomenal One.”
“The one thing that kind of leaves the door open is AJ didn’t leave his gloves in the ring,” Booker said to reporters. “If you’re retired, if you know it’s over, you’re going to leave those gloves in the ring. So therefore, I think the door was left open slightly anyway for AJ to still be able to do something , even if it’s not in the WWE. I could be wrong.” Booker noted that Styles dedicated a lot of his career to TNA Wrestling and that he could see Styles wanting one last run there, while also admitting that he would have likely wanted to wrap his own career up in WCW had he had the chance.
In terms of a career outside of the ring, Paul “Triple H” Levesque revealed after the Royal Rumble that he would want to offer Styles a backstage post in WWE. This is something that Booker would love to see Styles take up, and he would be thrilled to see Styles undertake such a role. “I can see AJ being in this business a long time, just because he’s one of those carpenters that we really, really, really truly need right now to help these young guys kind of like navigate their way through this, you know, this landmine. I’m serious, and hopefully we can get somebody like an AJ Styles as far as…I wouldn’t want to see him as a producer or anything like that, but I would love to see AJ Styles as one of the trainers and one of the coaches.” Booker rounded off by saying that he is 100% confident that Styles will wrestle again, he just isn’t sure when or where.
