Top WWE Superstar AJ Styles recently appeared on Wrestling Inc.'s Daily podcast, where he spoke about his decision to stay with the promotion when his contract was expiring in 2019. AJ Styles said WWE is the place for him and he hopes his retirement will happen in the WWE. AJ Styles also said he wants to work in with the company in some capacity even after he retires.
AJ Styles said:
“It was easy. I want to be here, this is the place for me.” “If they let me I will retire here, I hope to work in WWE in some capacity when I retire. I enjoy what I do.”
AJ Styles also talked about how he would love to help young talent out in NXT and the WWE Performance Center after he retires.
AJ Styles said:
“I would love to have that opportunity. I love to see people be successful, and having a hand in that to me, it would probably be the best thing I could do in my career. But, I don’t that I’ll get that opportunity, I am just saying.”
AJ Styles then spoke about his experience in working in NXT and how inspiring and exciting he felt to be there because it makes you want to do more and he loves how hungry the stars in NXT are.
AJ Styles said:
“Oh, it’s great. A bunch of hungry kids wanting to get after it, I love that.” “It’s inspiring because you want to do more when you’re down there, and I know the crowd is a little bit smaller, but it’s just as exciting. The smaller sometimes are the loudest. I really believe that the NXT fans are what makes NXT, the WWE Universe is what makes WWE. It’s not us, it’s them.”
