AJ Styles was lucky enough to have a long career inside the squared circle, but his in-ring career came to an end back in January when he was defeated by Gunther at the Royal Rumble. The Phenomenal One has only made one appearance on WWE programming since then as he delivered a speech in front of the fans in Atlanta on Raw last month.
While talking about what he’s been up to on The Phenomenally Retro Podcast, the former WWE Champion explained that he’s been trying to focus on his new role with WWE while training his son.
“I’m good, I’m really good, actually. I’m trying to figure this whole retirement-not retired thing. It’s a little — you know. But I have a problem with if I have a job, I want to really do it well. And so I’m just trying to figure out all the little knick-knacks, the little things in between to do well. Easier said than done. I’m just trying to figure out this whole job of mine.
“I’ve been trying to focus on — again, this job of mine and what it entails, and scouting and training my son at the same time. So, I’ve been in the ring doing stuff like that.”
Fans will be seeing AJ Styles sooner than later as it’s been confirmed that he will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Styles recently commented on his plan for his upcoming Hall of Fame induction speech and you can get more on that here.
