Why Does AJ Styles Need One Final WWE Main Event Run?
AJ Styles, The Phenomenal One, has been one of WWE’s most consistent main-event workhorses, a globe-trotting champion, and match quality king since debuting in 2016. Now that the pace has slowed, fans quietly crave one last story arc. It’s not just nostalgia, but because AJ still moves like a main eventer. The Phenomenal One keeps it human, fan-driven, and emotional.
This isn’t a plea for an overdue sendoff as AJ still delivers. His feuds, promos, and efforts show he can still carry the narrative forward. He is known for his natural, direct, and emotive style.
AJ Styles Still Has It
The ongoing feud between AJ Styles and Dirty Dom shows his potential. AJ’s improvising roles, such as doctor, valet, and janitor, add playful layers to the chase for the IC title. His match quality still sets the bar for younger stars with fresh energy and nuanced psychology.
AJ rolled in with his son in a Guerrero-style lowrider, which made SummerSlam unforgettable. He made a cameo at TNA Slammiversary recently. It shows that his heart is still in wrestling, not retirement. AJ doesn’t wrestle like a part-timer. He still breathes that main event spirit.
AJ Styles Hints at Retirement
AJ Styles hints at retirement at the SummerSlam 2025 kickoff event. He said, “This may be my last SummerSlam. So, I plan on tearing the house down one last time at SummerSlam for you guys.”
His return to TNA was met with thunderous respect, marking his career arc as it came full circle. The crowd’s reaction mirrored the sentiment, and this may be the one we don’t want to end. He’s also been clear that he won’t wrestle past 50. That frames SummerSlam 2025 as a pivotal moment.
AJ Deserves a Final Storyline
John Cena is getting his retirement tour. AJ deserves his final arc, and maybe one final match between Cena and AJ before they bid goodbye to the ring. This match can bring back the magic of their 2016 classics.
If not that, then even a brief title chase would give AJ the narrative payoff he deserves. He can also elevate younger stars while still telling his own story. The Phenomenal One is more than a nostalgia act. He is still a heartbeat in WWE storytelling.
