Just a few days after his defeat to Gunther at WWE Royal Rumble 2026, The Phenomenal AJ Styles appeared on What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon’s podcast.

Styles was in for a major surprise, as Stephanie McMahon revealed that she had a letter from his wife, Wendy Jones, for him.

In the letter, which Stephanie narrated, Wendy talked about how AJ always put her and his family ahead of his personal aspirations, which included turning down an offer from WWE pretty early in his career to stay close to his wife.

Wendy closed out the letter by stating that the phenomenal times are “just beginning” for AJ. The letter left Styles understandably emotional. You can check out the letter below:

“To my loving husband whom I call Allen and the world calls ‘The Phenomenal AJ Styles

“Growing up, who knew I would marry a wrestler? Sure, I would watch wrestling with my grandmother, but I never had a desire to marry one. Well, we paid for our small wedding with money made by your short stint in the WCW when you started chasing this dream. You always told me to trust you that you would make it. Never once did you doubt yourself. As your bride, I trusted you and even encouraged you to go when the WWE came knocking very early in your career. I believe that required you to move to Cincinnati. I was in college at the time. As a young married couple, you refused. You chose me. Even when I was pushing you to go, you politely declined the offer.

You always said we would do this together and not apart. Together we have. You have traveled the world wrestling and conquered what many only dream of accomplishing. You have put God and your family first in this business. I truly believe God opened every door and allowed not just you but our family to walk through them. For that, I am eternally grateful. You wanted to beat the house. Well, you did. A phenomenal career. Four amazing and individually gifted kids. And a loving, always supportive wife who has stood beside you the entire time. You won; come home. The phenomenal times are just beginning. I love you, babe!”
