AJ Styles has been in the professional wrestling business for a long time now and he’s considered by many to be one of the more influential wrestlers of the last few decades. It’s clear that The Phenomenal One has left his mark on the business as he is sometimes emulated by other wrestlers in the ring.
During a recent appearance on the No Contest Wrestling podcast AJ talked about his thoughts on other wrestlers using his moves and he made it clear that he has no problem with it.
“That’s cool. If guys are doing my moves, if girls are doing my moves, that’s awesome. I want them too. That just means that I’ve made an impact in the business where people have watched AJ Styles and go, ‘Freak, I’d like to try that. Let’s see if I can do that.’ I did the same thing, I was trying shooting star presses and 450s and all kinds of stuff like that because I saw other guys do it. If someone does the Styles Clash, I don’t care. Thank you for doing it, it means it’s impacted the wrestling world and that’s okay, I like that.”
While AJ Styles has been lucky enough to have a long and successful career, it will be ending sooner than later as the former WWE Champion has confirmed that he’s planning to retire in 2026.
