“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.”
Earlier to this, AJ Styles openly admitted that the current contract with WWE would be his last as a full-time performer. He is now standing at 41 and will be in no condition to go through the same schedule at 46, for sure.
AJ Styles will go down as one of the most successful WWE Superstars of all-time after spending four years in the company.
For most of the times of his WWE career, he’s been holding to either WWE or the United States Championships. In the process, the officials went on to make him a solid babyface champion on the Smackdown Live brand.
When someone possesses championships for a long time, he automatically becomes the face of the brand. There was nothing different in the case of AJ Styles, too.
He became the poster boy for the blue brand of the WWE before getting traded back to Monday Night Raw, earlier this year. For now, he is acting as a heel superstar in a feud against Randy Orton.
