AJ Styles has made it clear that he has no interest in being involved in creative decision-making within WWE, stating that his focus remains strictly on his own role as an in-ring performer.
Speaking on The Phenomenally Retro Podcast, Styles discussed the WWE Backlash Premium Live Event while responding to conversation around potential booking ideas and storyline directions.
During the discussion, co-host Tony Giles suggested alternate creative directions for recent WWE storylines, including ideas involving CM Punk and Jacob Fatu. Giles also noted that he is not part of WWE’s internal creative process.
Styles responded by emphasizing that even as an active WWE talent, he is not involved in storyline planning and chooses to stay focused only on his own assignments.
“I work for WWE, and I don’t know anything. But that’s not my job. My job is not to know what we’re doing next with that. My job is specific to what is for AJ Styles, and that’s not it. So, I don’t worry myself with it. I don’t need that job, nor do I want to be part of the storyline committee or whatever that is. No that’s not what I want to do.”
Styles’ comments highlight a clear separation between WWE’s creative team and its in-ring performers, with the veteran stating that he prefers to concentrate solely on his matches and character direction rather than broader booking decisions.
The discussion comes as Styles continues to work an active schedule in WWE while remaining one of the company’s most experienced and decorated performers.
