AJ Styles: In 2026, I Will Retire
AJ Styles has once again stated that he will retire in 2026.
Appearing on the WWE Crown Jewel Kickoff show, Styles was asked about his recent comments regarding his plans to retire within the next year.
“I’m getting old, folks. Listen, if I could find the fountain of youth and take a couple sips, I’d wrestle for the rest of my life, but I am getting older. The fear of embarrassing myself is getting closer. You know what? There comes a time in a man’s life when he has to take care of business, but when business is done, it’s time to take care of his family. I need to spend time with my family.
The whole idea with wrestling and having an amazing future in this business is to be able to retire one day, and in 2026, I will retire.”
Styles made his debut in 1998 and has competed all over the world, winning championships in WWE, TNA, ROH, NJPW, and more.
He is set to face John Cena at WWE Crown Jewel.
