AJ Styles, a prominent WWE Superstar, has made a significant impact throughout his extensive wrestling career. Recently, at a WWE Live Event in Tampa, he encountered a fan who requested an autograph on the AEW Men’s World Championship belt.
AJ Styles Responds to Fan’s Request to Sign AEW Belt
In a light-hearted moment captured on video, the fan asked Styles to sign the title. Styles humorously declined, saying, “Nick, Matt, I love you. I can’t sign this though.” This comment was a nod to the Young Bucks, the founders of AEW, with whom Styles has had a storied relationship.
The event took place during a night when Styles was defending his Tag Team Championships. Notably, this coincided with AEW’s Worlds End event, highlighting the competitive atmosphere between the two wrestling promotions.
Memorable Fan Encounter
This is not the first instance of fans playfully involving wrestlers from rival promotions. Previously, a young fan asked Darby Allin to sign a WWE Championship belt, which he did after a brief pause. Such interactions showcase the camaraderie and humor within the wrestling community.
Looking Ahead to Retirement
AJ Styles is nearing the conclusion of his illustrious wrestling career, with plans to retire in 2026, similar to John Cena’s retirement tour. Although there have been speculations regarding a potential move to AEW after his WWE tenure, Styles has expressed his desire to finish his career with WWE.
While it remains uncertain what his post-retirement plans entail, fans are hopeful that a talent like Styles will continue to contribute to the wrestling industry, possibly mentoring the next generation of wrestlers.
For now, AJ Styles can be seen weekly on WWE Raw, airing every Monday on Netflix, as he concludes this exciting chapter of his career.
