AJ Styles might be wrapping up his wrestling career in 2026, but hes definitely not jumping ship before then.
At a recent WWE live event in Tampa, Styles had a memorable moment with a fan who brought an AEW World Championship replica belt and tried to get The Phenomenal One to sign it. As seen in newly surfaced fan footage on TikTok, Styles took a look at the title, cracked a smile, and directly named the Young Bucks, admitting that he loved them but couldnt sign the belt.
The moment drew a huge reaction from the crowd, with fans cheering at both the unexpected Young Bucks name-drop and AJs respectful but clear boundary. Styles showed love to his longtime friends but made it knownhes staying loyal to WWE as his retirement approaches.
This all comes as WWE gears up for Styles 2026 retirement toura farewell year thats expected to be filled with memorable matches, emotional goodbyes, and legendary moments just like this.
So while fans can expect more up-close interactions with Styles in the coming months, dont expect him to cross any promotional lineseven if hes got love for the Bucks.
