AJ Styles has once again confirmed that he will be retiring after his contract with WWE expires. The current United States champion was talking to Lilian Garcia on her Chasing Glory podcast when he brought up the topic once again.
He said:
“I had no doubt that you know this is what I was going to do for my career. It really was. And you couldn’t have told me any different. And I can tell you that the contract that I signed, here in the WWE, is my last. This is it for me. This is where I’m going to end my career no matter what happens. I got to, you know? I want to be there for my kids.” [H/T Fightful]
