AJ Styles explains why he put the gloves back on after Royal Rumble match

AJ Styles was a guest on the What’s Your Story? podcast with Stephanie McMahon this week and McMahon asked him about removing the gloves and then putting them back on following his loss at the Royal Rumble.

Styles admitted that he doesn’t even know why he put the gloves back on but said that every wrestler has a right to come out of retirement at least once.

“Never say never, right? That’s the saying. I know there’s…I think everybody’s allowed at least once coming out of retirement,” Styles replied. “I’m not saying that I’ll do it anytime soon. I mean, what if my son wrestles? The opportunity to tag with him once. You never know. There’ll be a time when the gloves never go back on and it may be now, but we’ll see.”

The Phenomenal one then went on to reveal that his second oldest son is currently interested in becoming a pro wrestler and trains with him and said that his daughter and oldest son might get into it too. It’s only his youngest son who has no interest in wrestling.

He added that he didn’t think there would be a time where he would want his kids to be wrestlers, but the business is different and better than it was during his time.

“It’s done right at this point. So I’d be happy if they wrestled,” Styles told McMahon.

The episode also included comments from his wife and fellow WWE Superstars, who explained what Styles mean to them.

The 1 hour 45 minute podcast is streaming now on YouTube and other podcasts apps.
