The future of AJ Styles has been the subject of much speculation since his match at WWE Royal Rumble, with Fightful Select reporting that his contract with the company was expected to expire in February 2026.
Though this has yet to be confirmed, it was also noted that the future of the former world champion became a major point of conversation backstage at AEW Dynamite on 1/28.
Many questions continue to linger on what the future holds for Styles, with WWE sources communicating that he could have worked with TNA while under a WWE contract and NJPW noted as “keen” on potentially using Styles in the midst of talent departing the company.
The speculation comes after the loss to Gunther at the Rumble marked the end of AJ’s in-ring career, with sources within WWE claiming that he made his stance on retirement clear.
