AJ Styles has revealed that he has an idea in mind for his retirement match and opponent, fuelling speculation about his in-ring future.

With Styles previously hinting that he’s winding down on his in-ring career, many fans have shared pitches for Styles final years as a full-time competitor.

Speaking with Inside The Ropes, Styles noted that he has an idea of who he wants his final opponent to be:
