AJ Styles Teases Retirement With Cryptic Hourglass Post Ahead of SmackDown – AJ Styles has ignited speculation about his career future after posting a cryptic image on social media that many fans are interpreting as a retirement teaser. The image shows an hourglass with his “P1” logo falling like sand and turning to dust at the bottom, a striking visual that suggests time may be running out on his in-ring career.
The symbolism of the post has fueled widespread discussion online, with many believing Styles is preparing to wind down his legendary run. While Styles himself has not commented further, the timing is notable given his recent one-year contract extension with WWE, signed earlier this summer.
This isn’t the first time Styles has addressed retirement. When he signed his 2019 WWE deal, he said he believed it would be his last. At 48 years old, Styles has already hinted at life beyond the ring, revealing in past interviews that he hopes to open a professional wrestling school in Georgia once his career wraps up.
Since his debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble, Styles has established himself as one of WWE’s premier performers, capturing multiple championships, including two reigns as WWE Champion. Currently, he is locked in a feud with Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio, and he is expected to appear on tonight’s episode of SmackDown.
If this post is indeed a signal of his upcoming farewell, it would mark the beginning of the end for one of the most influential and respected wrestlers of the modern era. For now, fans will be watching closely to see whether Styles’ cryptic message foreshadows his exit or serves as part of an ongoing storyline.
