Matthew Rehwoldt: As Far As I’m Concerned, AJ Styles Is Done, He Said He Was Done, He’s Done

Matthew Rehwoldt says that he feels like AJ Styles is done and believes Styles when he says he is done.

At the WWE Royal Rumble last weekend, AJ Styles would face off with Gunther in a match where if he would lose, it would be the end of his WWE career. Gunther would end up choking out Styles, ending his WWE career.

While speaking to 3W-Wrestling in a new interview, Matthew Rehwoldt spoke about AJ’s appeared retirement.

“It’s tough. I mean, one, I did get to see it. I got to see the match. Fantastic work as always. I mean, it is professional wrestling. I mean, and someone like AJ Styles will always have the eyes of the wrestling world glued on him because of what he’s done. in companies like TNA and what he’s done in WWE, he is an all timer in any Hall of Fame in the world. When it comes to pro wrestling, no doubt about it. So, I mean, look, if he did it, it was him who did it. He put the gloves down and then he put them back on. So he gets all the blame for all the scrutiny he’s getting. I’m just going to put that on, on good old uncle Allen there, but I don’t know. I don’t know. Like, again, it left a lot of questions in a lot of people’s heads. I’m of the ilk that I know AJ Styles as a person, and when he says something, he means it. As far as I’m concerned, he’s done. He said he was done. He’s done. It wasn’t maybe the exact timing everyone thought it would be, but then again, it’s wrestling, so the never say never possibility is there, but as a fan, as the little kid inside of me, I don’t want to get excited about anything or assume anything. But if he ever pops up anywhere else, I’m just going to smile because more AJ Styles is good for me in the world of pro wrestling.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Rehwoldt spoke about possibly returning to the ring. You can read more about that here.
