During the Crown Jewel: Perth Kickoff show held earlier
today, AJ Styles confirmed that he will be retiring from in-
ring competition in 2026.
Styles was one of the many Superstars who appeared in front
of the thousands of WWE fans who showed up at Forrest Place
for the live broadcast.
“I’m getting old, folks! Listen, if I could find the
Fountain of Youth and take a couple of sips, I would wrestle
for the rest of my life,” Styles told the crowd.
“The fear of embarrassing myself is getting closer. And you
know what? There comes a time in a man’s life when he has to
take care of business. But when business is done, it’s time
to take care of his family. I need to spend time with my
family,” Styles continued.
He then said that the whole idea with wrestling and having
an amazing future in this business is to be able to retire
on his own terms one day.
“And in 2026, I will retire,” he concluded.
Styles will take on John Cena for the final time tomorrow at
Crown Jewel.
