AJ Styles’ last WWE match was against Gunther at Royal Rumble 2026.

The Phenomenal One had revealed he would retire in 2026, but no one thought it would be as early as January 2026.

When Gunther locked Styles in a chokehold and the referee called for the bell, everyone in the arena was absolutely shocked!

AJ Styles’ wife penned down an emotional note after his retirement

Following his retirement, AJ Styles appeared on What’s Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon. During the show, Stephanie McMahon read a loving letter penned down by Wendy Jones.

To my loving husband, whom I call Allen and the world calls ‘The Phenomenal AJ Styles,’

Growing up, who knew I would marry a wrestler? Sure, I would watch wrestling with my grandmother but I never had a desire to marry one. Well, we paid for our small wedding with money made by your short stint in the WCW when you started chasing this dream. You always told me to trust you that you would make it. Never once did you doubt yourself. As your bride, I trusted you and even encouraged you to go when the WWE came knocking very early in your career. I believe that required you to move to Cincinnati. I was in college at the time. As a young married couple, you refused. You chose me. Even when I was pushing you to go, you politely declined the offer.

You always said we would do this together and not apart. Together we have. You have traveled the world wrestling and conquered what many only dream of accomplishing. You have put God and your family first in this business. I truly believe God opened every door and allowed not just you but our family to walk through them. For that, I am eternally grateful. You wanted to beat the house. Well, you did. A phenomenal career. Four amazing and individually gifted kids. And a loving, always supportive wife who has stood beside you the entire time. You won, come home. The phenomenal times are just beginning. I love you, babe.
