Speculation grows about WWE veteran facing Logan Paul in retirement match at WrestleMania 41
Reports indicate AJ Styles could conclude his 25-year wrestling career in a high-stakes match against Logan Paul at WWE’s biggest event.
AJ Styles might face Logan Paul at WrestleMania 41 in what could mark his final wrestling match. The Phenomenal One, currently sidelined with a Lisfranc fracture since October, has his WWE contract reportedly expiring in early 2025, with a potential extension due to injury time.
Prior to WrestleMania XL, Styles shared his thoughts about retirement during an interview with The Ringer:
I am nearing the end of my career and going to retire soon.
This statement aligns with reports suggesting his current contract could be his last with WWE. Given both performers’ athletic prowess and similar in-ring styles, a match between Styles and Paul could provide an appropriate stage for The Phenomenal One’s farewell.
A victory for Paul in this potential career-ending match would elevate his status within WWE, following the company’s tradition of established veterans helping to cement the legacy of rising stars. However, these plans remain speculative as neither WWE nor the performers have confirmed such arrangements.
