PWInsider.com is reporting that AJ Styles has signed a new contract with WWE, which will see him transition from a WWE Superstar to a backstage role, helping developing new talent, serving as a mentor and coach.

The Phenomenal One poured cold water on an AEW run during an appearance on the Talk ‘N Shop Live podcast yesterday, saying that he is officially retired from the ring and will keep working with WWE in a different role.

Styles was given proper send-off this past Monday on Raw and was surprised with a Hall of Fame announcement by none other than The Undertaker himself.

The 48-year-old has spent the past decade working with WWE, winning multiple titles, including the WWE Championship on more than one occasion.

What is for sure is that with the likes of Shawn Michaels and AJ Styles developing the next crop of WWE Superstars, the future is in good hands!
