– AJ Styles, 48, has announced plans to retire from wrestling in 2026, though no exact date is set. He’s begun what appears to be a farewell tour, recently wrestling in Australia and Japan for the last time. Speaking with Undisputed, Styles said he’s proud to retire on his own terms after a career he’s loved.
He credited his time in NJPW as essential to his success, saying the experience helped define his in-ring style and that WWE embraced the version of him that emerged from Japan. While he hasn’t decided on his post-retirement plans, Styles expects to stay with WWE in a coaching or behind-the-scenes role. Currently, he and Dragon Lee hold the WWE Raw Tag Team Titles after defeating Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh, with a rematch scheduled for next week.
