AJ Styles is serious about stepping away from the ring — and now heâ€s letting fans know in no uncertain terms that the end is coming soon.
During a WWE live event in Melbourne, Australia, the former WWE Champion grabbed the microphone for a rare unscripted message. Styles told the crowd he wasnâ€t supposed to speak, but he needed to share something personal — and it hit hard.
“I donâ€t have a lot of time and Iâ€m not supposed to be on this microphone right now,†he told the Melbourne audience. “But I just wanted to thank you guys for being some of the best fans in the world. Hereâ€s the truth, Iâ€m probably not gonna be seen like this in a singlet here anymore, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much.â€
Styles has already confirmed that 2026 will mark the end of his legendary in-ring career. The reason? He wants more time with his family — and his body just canâ€t take the grind of WWEâ€s schedule anymore. At 47, heâ€s made peace with the decision, and his fans are slowly preparing to say goodbye.
The moment in Australia wasnâ€t just a farewell speech — it was a signal. Styles is preparing to hang up his boots, and heâ€s doing it on his terms, with sincerity and gratitude.
As his retirement draws closer, fans can expect more moments like this — emotional, heartfelt, and full of appreciation for the career heâ€s built and the fans who stood by him every step of the way.
