AJ Styles’ run in the Stamford-based promotion saw him hold the WWE Championship twice and also win a number of other titles. In his induction speech, the former Intercontinental champion kept things brief, thanking every promoter he ever worked for and showing his gratitude to the fans.

Now, his son has paid a tribute to his father in a heartfelt Instagram post. Ajay shared photos from the Hall of Fame ceremony and said that he was proud of his dad.

“Couldn’t be more proud of you, Dad. A Hall of Famer. In my eyes you are, and to a lot of people in the wrestling world, you are the best wrestler to walk on two feet,” he said.

He mentioned how people rarely saw Styles’ struggle of being on the road and away from the family for a long time.

“People never saw the sleepless nights, the workouts, the flights, the car rides, and most of all you being away from us. It’s all been worth it, thank you for being the person I look up to. I’m proud to be able to call you my Dad every day, and I Love you so much. Congrats Dad, Enjoy this because you deserve more than you know,” he added.

AJ Styles may consider coming out of retirement for one reason

So far, AJ Styles is in no mood to make a return to the ring. He has taken up the role of scouting talent for WWE and is also training performers backstage.

The former TNA World Champion has remained true to his word but may consider lacing up his wrestling boots down the road for one reason.

Speaking on What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon, he said that even though you never say never in this business, he isn’t looking to return anytime soon. But he added that he may do it if his son starts to wrestle and there is an opportunity to team up with him.
