AJ Styles May Not Be Fully Retired from Pro Wrestling After WWE Exit

TLDR

AJ Styles may be done as a full-time in-ring performer following his WWE exit after the Royal Rumble, but sources within WWE believe he's not finished wrestling in some capacity. While neither WWE nor AEW sources know what Styles' next move will be, AEW sources expect the company to pursue him if given the chance, and New Japan Pro Wrestling is reportedly eyeing him as well. Styles kept the door open during an appearance on Stephanie McMahon's podcast, responding with "Never say never" when asked about his future.
