I think we all forget that he's older than what we think he is, but he's even said himself he'd love to retire soon.
When do you think we'll see the last of the phenomenonal one?
(Of course he'll come back in a years time post-retirement for one more match anyway!)

Depends on when his current deal is up; he's said numerous times the one he most recently signed would be his last wrestling contract ever.

2023 probably if he wanted he could go another 10 years

I think when his current contract is up that's when he'll stop being a full time performer, but I think he might come back for the occasional one-off. Sad to think in a year or two we're likely to lose both AJ and Bryan.

I don't know but when drew McIntyre said he has been wanting to wrestle AJ styles since he was 16 (I guess he was watching TNA since it started), it makes AJ and myself feel old.

Just taking a guess that perhaps he signed a 3 year deal last year, so I'll say 2022.
But I'm sure he could go 5+ years and still be great.

Crazy to think he's been in WWE 5 years now. He's easily for another 3 in him at the top level and I genuinely think he'll retire as one of the greatest to ever step in a ring.

Anyone think he'll go to AEW once his contract is up?

Well he's 43 now so I think two more years or so when he's 45 will be when he hangs up the boots and tights.I think a safe bet would be WM 39 in '23 will be the end date for him,marking 25 years in the business.Can also see him in the next year or so dialing it back in terms of being a full timer,seem like the kind of guy that would love to watch his kids play high school sports,spend more time gaming and time with the family now then wrestling full time.

Yeah I kinda expect him to turn up in AEW at some point, he has a lot of pals outside of WWE and they all seem to help each other out, if an AEW show needed a boost I'm sure itd only take a call from the Bucks or Omega and he'd be there (assuming wwe don't sign him to a legends deal or something) |

I think Styles will get one more main title run; and few more high profile angles. I think 2023 his kids will be close to High School age; I could see him going at most 2023. Or; 2022. I think in 2019/2018 he signed 5 year extension. So it would point toward 2023? But; I could see him exiting the contract and doing a run in AEW. And that could prolong his career; if he does AEW run. Where he would only be featured at Show taping; and PPV. And maybe public outreach even when it happens. So 1-3 days of work a week. I think it's awesome he wants to be very in touch with his kids when they become High Schoolers. That's precious time; and will do wonders. Whatever is best with AJ.
I am just greatful for his WWE run and exposure to mainstream audiences. I think AEW run would be good; final end.

I personally would love to see AJ wrestle one last time for Impact Wrestling once his WWE career is over.

I just hope WWE doesn't give him a terrible opponent for his last match. They did Kurt Angle dirty having him lose to Baron Corbin at WM.

I would have said 2023, but I think COVID has bought everyone an extra year. I still think it's a shame he never won his first WWE Championship at a Wrestlemania.

I really think he should move to NXT and at least try to accomplish the NXT and NXT N/A champion before he’s done. Hell, even Styles himself says that he would love to move to NXT.

5-6 years probably. Hopefully when his contract is up he leaves. He’s done all he can in the company now and a good 3-4 year part time retirement run hanging with his friends would actually be pretty awesome

I think another three years. He will go until he is 45-46. I can see him limiting his dates severely after next year, going to maybe 2 matches a month or so

He will go until we transmit his essence and talent into a new superstar to carry on the legacy. AJ Styles with his Summer Slam basics and Elites will never disappear.
