AJ Styles lost to Gunther in his retirement match at last Saturday’s Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Following the event, Styles appeared on a new edition of Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story?” podcast. The episode included McMahon reading a letter from Styles’ wife Wendy Jones congratulating her husband on all that he has done in pro wrestling and looks forward to the next stage/chapter of their lives together.
“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. 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. 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.”
Styles said that would be “nothing” without his wife Wendy. He then said that now that he will be home more often, he is looking forward to doing the things they could not do before, which is talking morning walks together and working out together. H/T F4WOnline
