AJ Styles Sends Encouraging Message To Released WWE Star

AJ Styles sent a supportive message to Indi Hartwell after her WWE release in November 2024, encouraging her not to give up on her wrestling career.

Hartwell shared the encouraging words from Styles in her latest vlog update, revealing what the veteran performer told her following her departure from the company.

Keep battling, don’t quit. The reason for everything is always there. Don’t let this be the end of the story. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

Hartwell resumed her wrestling career in Australia after her WWE exit, winning the Renegades of Wrestling Women’s Championship.

The Australian wrestler competed against Mercedes Mone at House of Glory City of Dreamz on March 15. This marked Mone’s first independent match since 2012.

Styles dealt with his own career challenges recently. During a separate interview, he revealed a foot injury nearly forced him into retirement.

The former World Champion suffered the injury during a match against Carmelo Hayes in October and didn’t return to action until the 2025 Royal Rumble.

Styles mentioned that while he avoided surgery, retirement was a real possibility, and physical therapy wasn’t guaranteed to resolve the issue.
