Tony Khan: AJ Styles Is Respected As One Of The All-Time Greats

AJ Styles put his career on the line at WWE Royal Rumble against Gunther, but ultimately came up short in the bout, passing out to the sleeper.

The future of Styles has been heavily discussed as he said in a promo before the match that he was putting his “WWE career” on the line. Many fans have speculated that Styles might show up in AEW at some point.

Speaking to Baby Huey on 107.7 The Bone, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about Styles.

“AJ Styles is one of the greatest wrestlers I’ve ever seen. I’ve been a fan of his for decades and I grew up watching him. He’s one of the best I’ve seen. Since I was a teenager, I’ve been watching him. He’s incredible. I also think that, whether it’s been overseas internationally or in the US, everywhere he’s been, he’s been a top star and a huge addition to that promotion. Some of the very best wrestling I’ve ever seen, AJ did in New Japan-Pro Wrestling with the Bullet Club. All over the world, he’s respected as one of the all-time greats,” he said.

After the Rumble, Styles addressed his future, saying “never say never” regarding a potential in-ring return. You can find his full comments here.
