AJ Styles Ponders Idea of Opening Wrestling School

AJ Styles took questions from the fans on the most recent episode of his Phenomenally Retro podcast. Styles has recently shifted to behind the scenes work with WWE, specifically concentrating on recruiting and helping develop talent. Some wondered if this could involve opening his own training center, given that that’s how talent has been developed over the years.

AJ Styles indicated that it’s something he might be interested in, with something of a caveat:

On The Idea of Opening His Own Training Center:

“I would like to get something like Nattie and TJ (Wilson) have, you know, with their Dungeon because it’s an invite only kind of experience, right? You’re invited. That means that you’re well enough known that we know you can get in here and you can hold your own in this ring. And to have something like that close to me so that I can work with WWE guys and girls…that would be great. That’d be important that that way I could see their progression. I can help them out with the little things, you know, and help them get to that next level. Maybe it’s maybe they’re hoping to get a try out and before that try out we can get in there and work together a little bit and help them get to that next level. That would be something I would like to do.”

Styles did recently visit TJ & Nattie’s Dungeon, along with the Fight The World Wrestling Academy run by Bryan Idol, Natalia Markova, and Mike Mondo.
