Appearing on this Phenomenally Retro podcast, AJ Styles gave some new details on the role he has taken on with WWE following his retirement.
Noting what appears to be a consulting and/or scouting role of sorts, the former WWE Champion said:
I’m looking for talent and I’m looking to see what I can do, if I can do anything for them. If they can get better. Little things like that. If there is a possibility of them getting a WWE ID or something, then hopefully I can facilitate and get that to happen. As of right now, it’s a little slow, but there are phone calls that are going to have to be made to make sure my job is done and it’s not just with indie talent. It’ll be NXT talent and it may mean main roster talent as well.
I’m gonna go to Seattle for Raw and talk to talent. Who knows. Sometimes, you need to talk to somebody to see how they’re feeling and maybe they want to go down to the PC and work on some stuff. I’m that guy. That’s what I’m there for. The morale, if I can help make sure it’s still there in a good way, I want to be that guy. There are a lot of things I’m going to be doing. As things come up, it’ll change, I’m sure the job will. As of right now, that’s kind of what I’m doing.
Styles stepped away from in-ring competition following a loss to Gunther at the Royal Rumble, and is set to be inducted into the 2026 class of the WWE Hall of Fame.
