According to sources, AJ Styles’ current WWE contract will be expiring in early 2019. During a recent interview with 97.9 The Box in Houston, TX to promote WWE Survivor Series, Styles hinted at possibly retiring in a “couple years.”
For those unaware, AJ Styles turned 40 years old last June. If he plans on retiring at 42 years old, his next WWE contract expiration would likely occur before he turns 42 in June of 2019. Aside from rare cases such as Shawn Michaels, wrestlers typically don’t just walk away from a prime spot in WWE like that. It’s possible that AJ Styles could re-sign and work a lighter schedule when his current WWE contract expires. Of course, Styles could always change his mind and decide to keep his full-time in-ring career going longer if he wants.
