Frustration over AJ Styles’ current booking in WWE has now involved his family, as his son, Ajay, publicly agreed with fan criticism directed at Triple H’s creative decisions. The exchange happened on social media after a fan expressed anger over how Styles is being presented on television.
A fan posted, “The way HHH is disrespecting AJ is legit pi—ing me off,” to which Styles’ son simply replied, “You ain’t the only one man.”
This public discontent follows a recent storyline where Styles unsuccessfully challenged Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship in consecutive matches.
Despite his current on-screen struggles, Styles’ popularity with live audiences remains high. He reportedly received one of the loudest crowd reactions during WWE’s recent European tour.
The debate over Styles’ booking comes as more details about his contract status have emerged. A recent report confirmed he signed a one-year extension earlier this year, securing him with the company until February 2026.
This new timeline clarifies previous speculation about a potential retirement, which was fueled by a cryptic hourglass image Styles posted online. The 48-year-old has stated that this current deal will be his last, confirming in a March 2025 interview that he intends to retire from the ring before turning 50.
With Styles now in the final phase of a decorated run that saw him win the WWE Championship in his 2016 debut year, it remains uncertain if this public criticism will influence the creative direction for his remaining time.
