Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) AJ Styles Hints That He Is Nearing The End Of His Career
AJ Styles was recently interviewed on Busted Open Radio. During the interview, Styles hinted that the end of his career is coming soon.
Here is what he said:
“I think I am. You know, Mark [Henry], you get older. You go, ‘Where the freak did my energy go? Why don’t I have that useless burst of energy that I had way back when.’ You can see that starting to deplete and I’ve said this before, I don’t want to be that AJ Styles that everybody goes, ‘Wow, I wish he could still do that’ or, ‘Oh wow, he’s really slow.’ I don’t want that. I wanna be the AJ Styles that people will remember and go out that way. Will I be like I was when I was 25? There’s no way. It’s just not possible.”
My Take:
- Selfishly, I would love a few more years of Styles. Still, I respect him wanting to go out on his terms and while he is still healthy. My guess is that he will officially retire after Wrestlemania 37.
4) Superstar Leaving WWE For AEW
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Matt Hardy is likely to jump to AEW after his contract with WWE expires.
Here is what he said:
“I’ve heard more about people who are probably coming to AEW. There’s rumors about Matt Hardy. Again, his contract is up in a couple of months. I think that he’s doing Broken Matt Hardy segments so whether it’s Impact or Ring Of Honor or AEW…in that situation if you’re trying to be high profile then AEW is your best bet. I would think that he might end up there.”
Meltzer noted that he has also heard rumors about Luke Harper joining AEW.
My Take:
- Matt Hardy to AEW seems like it would make a ton of sense. They appear to get a ton of creative freedom, which I think Matt really desires. Plus, he is good friends with The Young Bucks. I definitely see him heading there.
