While appearing on the Talk\u2019n Shop podcast, Styles set the record straight about his future with WWE amid AEW rumors\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody wants to say, \u2018Oh, WWE put him in the Hall of Fame so he couldn\u2019t go to AEW.\u2019 Guys, I\u2019m retired from wrestling in the ring. That\u2019s all this is. I make my own choices. I make my own decisions. I was ready. I\u2019m still going to be working with WWE. That\u2019s not going to change.<\/p>\n<p>I have these dreams and aspirations of helping out the younger talent and helping them get ready. If somebody\u2019s not ready once they get there, it\u2019s my job to hopefully help them get to that point where they can do well and they\u2019re confident when they step into a WWE ring\u2014that they have the ability and the talent. They\u2019re one of the boys or one of the girls. They belong.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to help with that is a blessing, dude. I\u2019m so excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KD09ELdnnW\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/KD09ELdnnW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rasslin&#8217; (@RasslinClips) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RasslinClips\/status\/2026877648220336585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As seen during the February 23rd 2026 edition of WWE RAW, The Undertaker announced that AJ Styles will&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[7990,96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-446308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-aj-styles","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
