Karl Anderson comments on the wrestling future of AJ Styles amid retirement rumors
This past week, AJ Styles posted an image of an hourglass with falling sand forming his signature “P1” logo which led to speculation about his future. While speaking to Jonathan Coachman and Nic Nemeth, Karl Anderson of The OC commented on the wrestling future of Styles amid retirement rumors…
“AJ Styles – he can wrestle as long as he wants to wrestle. He can go as long as he wants to go. The thing with AJ, he’s such a family man, he’s always ready to hang it up. He likes to tell us that he can sit down if he wants to, he can stay home if he wants to. He’s done his thing, he’s proved his point that he’s one of the best wrestlers of all time to ever do this. He’s proved everything that he’s ever needed to prove – but he likes being home.”
“The question would be, is AJ gonna wind it down, is he not gonna wind it down? Knowing AJ Styles, and knowing his competitive nature, I truly believe in my heart – and we don’t talk, and it’s not that we don’t speak a lot, it’s a quick, ‘I love you, I hope you’re doing good buddy, I miss you’ – I don’t think, knowing AJ Styles’ competitive nature, I don’t think he’s gonna hang it up. I heard his contract ends in February, and who knows what the truth is to any of that. I still think, no matter what, whether it’s with WWE or it’s not – which, I think it’s gonna continue being with WWE, I think AJ Styles is happy where he’s at – I think AJ’s gonna continue. I really believe that.” (quotes courtesy of WrestleTalk.com)
"I think AJ's going to continue. I really believe that."
