AJ Styles is focused on helping the next generation after his WWE retirement.

Since he brought his WWE career to an end at the Royal Rumble, fans have been wondering what the future holds for AJ Styles. With rumours he could wrestle elsewhere dispelled after the 48-year-old backed up his Hall of Fame induction by confirming he was done in the ring, attention turned to whether ‘The Phenomenal One’ would stay within the industry or step away from the business as a whole. Now, he’s revealed what he plans to do moving forward.

Appearing on Talk N Shop, Styles confirmed his intention to continue working with WWE, noting how he wants to help the young talent.

“I’m still gonna be working with WWE. That’s not gonna change. I have these dreams and aspirations of helping out the younger talent and helping them get ready. If somebody’s not ready [who] wants to get there, it’s my job to hopefully help get them to that point where they can do well and they’re confident when they step into a WWE ring. That they have the ability and the talent. They’re one of the boys or one of the girls. They belong. Being able to help with that is a blessing. I’m so excited about it.”

Being incredibly successful both in and out of WWE, AJ Styles has experience wrestling all over the world for a variety of promotions, leaving him with a wealth of knowledge to pass on to the next generation. After weeks of speculation regarding his future, it now seems as if he’s set to settle into life working behind the scenes without the intensity of competing in-ring.

With Styles revealing he’s set to remain with WWE post-retirement on Talk N Shop, he also directly addressed rumours that the company stopped him going to AEW. You can read more about that here.
