• AJ Styles’ Son Is Pi$$ed Off With How Triple H Is Booking His Father
AJ Styles made his debut in WWE during the 2016 Men’s Royal Rumble match for the WWE Championship. He has won the WWE, Intercontinental, United States and Tag Team titles since then.
The Phenomenal One quickly rose to the top after joining the biggest promotion in the world as he was already a big name in the pro wrestling industry before his arrival in WWE.
According to Fightful Select, AJ Styles’ contract with WWE is set to expire around February 2026, which would be just after Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia and before WrestleMania 42.
The former WWE Champion has talked about retirement on multiple occasions in the past, but hasn’t mentioned it much lately.
He took to Instagram on Friday to share a photo of an hourglass, seemingly hinting that his pro wrestling career might be coming to an end. It is possible that Styles hangs up his boots next year, perhaps after a final match at WrestleMania.
Under this retirement tease post, a fan wrote the following:
“The way HHH is disrespecting AJ is legit pi$$ing me off”
AJ’s son, Ajay, replied:
“You ain’t the only one man”
AJ Styles hasn’t done much this year. At WrestleMania 41, he lost to Logan Paul. At SummerSlam 2025, he failed to defeat Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship.
On this Monday’s RAW, Styles will face El Grande Americano, who attacked him last week during his Intercontinental Title rematch against Dirty Dim, where he lost once again.

• Ted DiBiase Badly Hurt At Atlanta Airport
WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase was recently travelling through the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where he took a scary fall and suffered some injuries.
While speaking on his Everybody’s Got a Pod podcast, the WWF Legend revealed that he has a bad eye and bruised ribs following the incident, which happened due to a child falling in front of him while playing.
“There were some kids there, and they were playing around, and they were just kids being kids. One of them, like, fell right in front of me, and I had no choice. I was hustling… I did a face bump. I mean, I went down. I went down hard, buddy. I had a, I don’t know if you can see it, a black eye. The rest of it is, it was, it’s my right side.
I have had a broken rib before. And if you have a broken rib, you can’t breathe. And even now, even though there’s nothing broken, I’ve got a really good bruise, but it’s so sore. You talk about the embarrassment, right? The Million Dollar Man, you know, takes a big bump in the Atlanta airport.”
A gate attendant provided The Million Dollar Man with a rag for his bleeding face. Fortunately, he’s doing well now.
• AJPW Wrestler Dies At Age 21
All Japan Pro Wrestling has announced the passing of Taishin Nagao, a 21-year-old rookie who had only recently begun his professional career.
Nagao died on Sunday morning after complications stemming from an accident earlier this year. On May 31, he was struck by a tour bus, suffering severe abdominal trauma that left him in critical condition. While initially treated in intensive care, his condition remained serious throughout the summer.
AJPW stated that his cause of death has not yet been determined and that his body has been turned over to police as part of an ongoing investigation.
In June, the promotion confirmed that Nagao had suffered traumatic shock from the incident and was being monitored in the ICU. A follow-up in July reported that he was still receiving treatment, and several wrestlers and staff had visited him in the hospital with permission from his family. Despite hopes for recovery, Nagao ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Nagao entered the AJPW dojo in 2024 and made his in-ring debut in October of that year, facing Ryo Inoue. Though his career was brief, his presence was regarded as promising within the promotion’s new generation of talent.
The company released a formal announcement expressing condolences and gratitude to fans for their support, while asking for privacy for Nagao’s family during this difficult time.
