AJ Styles Reiterates His Decision to Retire From Wrestling in 2026

As noted before, AJ Styles is currently planning to retire from his in-ring wrestling career within the next year.

Friday’s WWE Crown Jewel: Perth Kickoff show featured AJ Styles as a guest. One of the topics discussed included Styles’ thoughts about his decision to retire from his in-ring career at some point in 2026.

“I’m getting old, folks. Listen, if I could find the fountain of youth and take a couple sips, I’d wrestle for the rest of my life, but I am getting older. The fear of embarrassing myself is getting closer. You know what? There comes a time in a man’s life when he has to take care of business, but when business is done, it’s time to take care of his family. I need to spend time with my family.

The whole idea with wrestling and having an amazing future in this business is to be able to retire one day, and in 2026, I will retire.”
