During his recent Twitch stream, AJ Styles opened up about the possibility of jumping ship to AEW.

The reigning Intercontinental Champion replied with the tried-and-tested adage, 'never say never'.

Styles, however, revealed that he hopes to work for WWE in some capacity once he wraps up his in-ring career. The Phenomenal One would like to be a recruiter or scout as he feels it would be a fun role for him. Styles would also have no problems going back to the indies.

Style explained that he likes what he is doing currently in the WWE. He doesn't see the need to go to AEW right now, but he didn't entirely shut the door on the signing either.

Here's what Styles said:

"As far as AEW is concerned, never say never, right? But, I think once my career is done, I'm hopefully just going to work for WWE in some capacity. What would I do? I'd like to be a recruiter, go scout some guys, I think that would be fun. I would have no problem going to the Indies." (H/T Fightful)
"A lot of my friends are there, guys I love, but I know what I'm doing in WWE. I know what's asked of me and I kind of like that. Change always, some change, sucks. You know how one thing is done and the other is not worth the hassle. I don't need, at least right now, to go anywhere else, so, why would I? But, again, never say never."
