AJ Styles Expected At WWE Headquarters SOON (WWE News)
AJ Styles is due to visit WWE HQ this week.
With plentiful speculation over what's next for AJ Styles following his loss to Gunther at the Royal Rumble this past weekend, there's now word on what's in the Phenomenal One's immediate future.
Of course, that loss to the Ring General meant that Styles was forced to retire, which itself comes on the heels of AJ being vocal about 2026 being the final year of his in-ring career. However, fans are asking the question of whether that really is it for the career of the legendary AJ Styles, or whether this was simply the end of his WWE career, and that P1 may see out the rest of the year by revisiting old stomping grounds such as TNA or NJPW, or whether Styles may even stop by AEW for a few dream matches.
While those questions continue to rumble on, what we do know, via PWInsider, is that AJ Styles is due to visit WWE Headquarters at some point this week. It's not known exactly why AJ will be at WWE HQ, but this report adds that Tiffany Stratton is another who'll be making this visit, with speculation that this may be to record some podcasts.
It terms of that retirement, it was previously reported that AJ Styles' WWE deal was up at some point this month, with WWE keen to extend Styles' stay with the company, but fully aware that he'd been weighing up his retirement for a couple of years. Likewise, AEW would obviously have interest in bringing AJ in should that become an option, as would NJPW. And as for TNA, WWE would reportedly have been open to allowing Styles to work for TNA while under contract should he have pushed for that.
