A WWE Veteran Gave His View On AJ Styles’ Career

However, wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell believed that wrestlers don’t retire, which could lead to WWE brings him back for an additional appearance, citing the example of Brock Lesnar, who also called himself retired at one point and then returned to the ring.

“Look, you’re not retiring from wrestling. That’s just not the case.” He continued: “I think there will come a time, say a year, where they’ll come to him, ‘AJ, I had this idea, I know you’re going to tell me it’s stupid, but I had this idea where you get back in the ring, I want you to do it.’ And of course he’ll say, “No, no. I stopped, I don’t want to do it. And they tell him, now they’re getting him excited about what they told him. And of course, he’s a corporate guy. He wants it to work, and yes, he will. And Brock is the same thing. »

As 2026 approaches, it remains to be seen what AJ Styles’ final year in the global juggernaut will look like.
