While speaking on his Phenomenally Retro podcast, AJ Styles encouraged stars like Dragon Lee to continue using his moves. He even named AEW star Will Ospreay as Ospreay also uses the Styles Clash as an homage to AJ. He clarified that he is never going to use those moves anymore as he’s retired.

“Listen, Dragon did reach out and was like, ‘Hey man, you care?’ Please, please use it. Anybody who wants to use it, it’s all yours. The Phenomenal Forearm, use it. It’s out there. I know Ospreay does it. Do it, dude. It doesn’t bother me, not one bit. AJ Styles isn’t going to use it anymore. I hope it can find itself in professional wrestling for a long time,” said AJ.

A lot of fans still can’t believe that AJ Styles is retired and won’t ever compete in a wrestling match again.

AJ Styles is now a WWE Hall of Famer

After losing to Gunther in Saudi Arabia at the WWE Royal Rumble PLE, Styles was officially done with wrestling. A few weeks later on RAW in Atlanta, WWE celebrated the Phenomenal One’s career and a lot of his former rivals and close friends were present at the show.

In the closing segment of the show, Styles came out to thank the fans for supporting him throughout his career. Suddenly, the Undertaker came out and teased a match against AJ. However, it was just a ruse as he announced that AJ Styles will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

AJ Styles was inducted into the Hall of Fame by the Good Brothers (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson).
