AJ Styles Bids Farewell to Australia for His Wrestling Career

Wednesday’s WWE live event in Melbourne, Australia featured AJ Styles defeating El Grande Americano in a singles match.

Following the match, Styles grabbed a microphone and gave a speech to the live crowd stating his appreciation for Australian fans for the support they have shown to him during his wrestling career and his farewell to Australia since he believes he likely will not be back again for his wrestling career.

“I just want to thank you guys for cheering and being some of the best fans in the world. But here’s the truth: I’m probably not going to see you again in a singlet like this anymore. So I just wanted to let you know, from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much.”

CM Punk Calls Out Fans To Stop Stalking & Harassing WWE Wrestlers

CM Punk recently responded on Instagram calling out fans to stop stalking and harassing WWE wrestlers at airports, hotels, and other public locations. Punk’s comments were made following WWE’s last night of their tour of Australia.

“We unfortunately have to have this conversation again. Do not turn up at airports. Do not show up at hotels. I cannot believe I have to say this. DO NOT FOLLOW PEOPLE. You’ve repeatedly been politely told no, respect it. You are not a fan, you are a stalker and will be treated as such. Respect the boundaries. Stop harassing people.”

Turner recently reflected on Twitter about her time in WWE and her current plans for the future of her wrestling career.

“I Wanted To Give It A Few Days To Process My Feelings And Deliver A Genuine Message;

I’m Overwhelmed With Love And I Am So So Bloody Proud Of All I Did As Stevie Turner. From Working In NXT UK In My Home Of London, To Leaving It All And Flying Across The World & Achieving A
Life Goal By Moving To NXT Orlando.

I Was 4D, A Streamer, Made History In The First Ever TNA/NXT Match And Became The Prime Minister Of Evolve. I Loved Every Second Of Everything I Did, And Despite Not Having The Simplest Journey, I’m Proud I Always Gave 100% To Everything Presented To Me. I Have No Regrets, No Loss Of Love – Just A Heart Full Of Gratitude And Wonder For The Future.

I’m Excited To Keep Working On Feature Film “Welcome To Paradise” With Crucible Films And Show What I Can Offer The World Of Voice Acting/ Acting. And Of Course, I’m Excited To Lace My Wrestling Boots Again.

My One Hope Is That In All I’ve Done, That I Would Have Made My Late Tag Partner Hana Kimura Proud, Because Without Her, I Would Have Never Had The Confidence To Push Further For My Dreams.
See You All Soon!

I’ve left WWE and wanted to share some thoughts. The future is bright and of course I’m still in my Prime 💁🏼‍♀️😆 thank you for reading!
