WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque speaks about AJ Styles' retirement from WWE. He spoke about it on the Rumble post-show.

AJ Styles has confirmed a few times that he plans to retire this year. What we weren't expecting was for his career to be over by January. Styles will compete in a match where his career is on the line at Royal Rumble this Saturday, and some recently filed trademarks have fueled speculation that it might be his final outing in WWE.

The professional wrestling career of AJ Styles is over. Styles shared the ring with Gunther at WWE "Royal Rumble 2026." The stipulation going into the match was that Styles would be forced to retire if he lost. Ultimately, the "Phenomenal" one couldn't defeat "The Ring General."

AJ Styles announces the beginning of his WWE retirement tour, 24 hours before his career is on the line at Royal Rumble.

A fan-made graphic of AJ Styles being #AllElite was posted on social media, and it caught the attention of Ricochet.
