The online discussion surrounding the future of AJ Styles has intensified after a comment from his son on social media. After a fan expressed their dissatisfaction with Styles's current booking in WWE, his son replied in agreement, adding a new layer to the speculation about the former champion's career.
AJ Styles's WWE contract is reportedly set to expire in February 2026. In recent years, the 48-year-old veteran has been primarily used to help elevate younger talent.
AJ Styles' Son: "You Ain't The Only One"
On a recent Instagram post, a fan expressed their frustration with how AJ Styles has been booked in WWE. The fan's comment drew a direct and telling reply from Styles's own son.
"You ain't the only one, man," he wrote, seemingly co-signing the fan's dissatisfaction with his father's creative direction.
A Legendary WWE Career
AJ Styles has been one of the most acclaimed in-ring performers in the world for over two decades. He first made his name in TNA Wrestling, where he was a multi-time world champion and a foundational star for the promotion for over a decade.
After a highly successful run in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, he made his surprise debut for WWE at the 2016 Royal Rumble. He went on to have a decorated career with the company, winning the WWE Championship twice and becoming a Grand Slam Champion.

A New Role For AJ Styles
In recent years, however, his role has shifted. At 48 years old, the veteran has been used to put over the next generation of superstars. This has included recent losses to younger talents like Dominik Mysterio and Logan Paul.
While this is a traditional and respected role for a veteran performer, the lack of a consistent main event storyline for a star of his caliber has been a source of frustration for many of his loyal fans. His son's recent comment suggests that this frustration may be shared by those closest to him, and it has only fueled the speculation that "The Phenomenal One" could be considering retirement or a move to another promotion when his contract expires.
