The sighting comes as Styles continues to talk about the end of his wrestling career. In an interview with ABEMA promoting WWE’s Japan tour, he admitted the trip would likely be his last time performing there. “I honestly thought I may not be here in the WWE, so getting the opportunity to come back is really awesome. Probably my last time as a performer going back to Japan… Soon I’ll retire, and I don’t think we’ll get back to Japan before I retire. I think that this is probably my last go in Japan as a performer.”
Nearing the Final Bell
Styles has also put a timeline on his farewell. He revealed that retirement is planned within the next year. During SummerSlam weekend, he even suggested that the event might have been his last at the annual spectacle, underlining that the end of his run is coming fast.
With Styles preparing for the final chapter of his career, the question now is simple: which moments best define his legacy, and what should fans hope to see before he hangs up his boots? Share your thoughts in the comments.
