Plans are still yet to be finalized for AJ Styles’ retirement from the ring, but the Phenomenal One knows exactly when he’ll hang up his boots. Speaking on the Insight podcast, Styles admitted that he’s been thinking a lot about his retirement from wrestling, though he’s yet to nail down the details.
“I should have known what I was doing by now. But it’s so hard because you enjoy it so much and I enjoy being around my friends.”
Styles clarified that as much as he loves competing for WWE, he also loves being with his family. With WWE’s product excelling in the way it has in recent years though, Styles is finding it harder to lock-down plans for his life after wrestling.
While Styles doesn’t have a plan for his retirement just yet, he at least knows when he wants to go. In the past, Styles has said that he’ll be done in the ring by the time he is 50.
“That’s correct. I keep saying that. I’ve said this and said this, but I will not wrestle at 50, I promise you that.”
Styles, who is 47 years old, does not have a final opponent in mind but with his immense talent, there will be no shortage on names wanting to work with the former WWE and TNA World Champion. In the meantime, Styles will continue to show his skills in the ring on Monday Night Raw, where he has proven to be the Phenomenal One.
