Report: AJ Styles Visits WWE Performance Center On Wednesday

According to PWInsider.com, recently retired WWE legend AJ Styles visited the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, on Wednesday, February 18th. There are currently no details regarding the purpose of Styles' visit. This comes ahead of the announcement that next week’s episode of RAW will feature a tribute to the former two-time WWE Champion.

Next week’s episode of RAW is scheduled to take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, which is near Styles’ hometown of Gainesville. It has also been reported by F4WOnline’s Bryan Alvarez that talents from SmackDown are being flown to Atlanta for the tribute show, meaning that wrestlers from both brands will be present.

Styles’ wrestling career appeared to come to an end last month at the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble PLE when he lost to GUNTHER via submission. Styles passed out in a sleeper hold, leading to a referee stoppage. His retirement comes ten years after he made his WWE debut at the Royal Rumble in 2016.

However, during his final moments in the ring, Styles began to remove his gloves, only to put them back on. He celebrated with the fans one last time before leaving, which has led to speculation that his in-ring career may not be over.
