AJ Styles Talks Possible Future With WWE & Retirement Plans

Former IWGP and TNA Champion AJ Styles has quickly become one of the most sought-after talents in wrestling. His New Japan Pro Wrestling run is arguably the greatest of his career, and has caused many to speculate a possible WWE offer.

In a interview with Wrestling Observer Radio, Styles said he really enjoys being with NJPW, but if WWE made him an offer he couldn’t refuse, he’d have to listen.

It also appears that Styles has about five more years in wrestling, as he said during the interview that he currently plans to retire by 42.

“At 42, that’ll be 20 years for me. I think that’s a good stopping point, if I make it. You never know what will happen next. Blowing out my knee at this point in my career could be career-ending. I was planning on retiring early, but apparently IUDs don’t work for my wife,” Styles joked.

Styles also opened up about his hopes for life after wrestling as an active performer.

“I really think I have a lot to offer, so I’d really like to open my own dojo and still be able to work with New Japan. Their guys could come stay with me and get some experience in states. If New Japan needed some more gaijin, then I would be able to supply that. That’s what I’d like to do when all this is said and done, but liking and doing are two different things,” said Styles.

Jushin “Thunder” Liger Working More Dates For WWE?

It was originally reported that Jushin “Thunder” Liger was only go to work the NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn show where he defeated Tyler Breeze. It now appears that Liger is now expected to work more dates with WWE.

A promoter noted to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that they tried to book Liger for a few dates but was told WWE had already booked him for those dates. This could be a sign that Liger has been offered some type of contract by WWE, similar to the one Samoa Joe has but likely not as extensive as Liger is with New Japan Pro Wrestling.

WWE Writes King Barrett Off TV?

On Monday’s RAW, King Barrett’s partner Stardust attacked him and it appears that this was WWE’s way of Writing Barrett off of TV for the time being.

Barrett has changed his Twitter name from Wade Barrett to his real name – Stu Bennett.

Barrett confirmed last week that he will begin filming WWE Studios action-thriller “Eliminators” in September. He wrote on Twitter that he is on his way back home to the UK.

Tough Enough finale  Results 

  After a month long competition the two winners of this seasons Tough Enough were crowned tonight. Their reward? A half a million dollar WWE contract. One man and woman would be chosen. 

The final four Amanda Saccomanno, Zamariah “ZZ” Loupe, Sarah Lee, and Joshua Bredl all had their first televised match up live and center stage in front of a live crowd at the preformance center in Orlando Florida.

It was also reviled that the final four would be not only having a match but also revealing their Personas AND cutting a promo. To no surprise Joshs’ alter ego was the yeti, Amanda’s was Mandy Rose, ZZs’ was King of the bayou and Sara Lee was Hope.



So who would the finalist be facing in their first match? They thought it would be each other but that wasn’t the case. Cesaro and Alicia Fox were brought in to face the young prospects. All four matches were decent for newbies despite the fact that all four finalist lost their matches. The general consences between the judges was that Josh put on a better match than ZZ and as far as the women’s match both of them got mixed reviews.

In the end the WWE universe decided to reward Josh and Sara with the contracts. There you have it folks, Josh Bredl & Sara Lee are the newest members of the WWE roster.

  
What do you guys think of the results? Is it what you guys wanted? Let us know in the comments. Until then here’s wishing the best of luck to both Josh and Sara in their respective WWE careers. Hop along for their journey by following them on Twitter @ToughJoshua & @ToughSara
