AJ Styles Talks WWE’s Future Stars, Cody Rhodes, LA Knight & Championship Pressure
Monday, 22 June, 2026
AJ Styles and Tony Giles dive into a packed week of wrestling and gaming discussion on the latest episode of The Phenomenally Retro Podcast. AJ shares his thoughts on WWE's future stars, including Oba Femi, Tony D'Angelo, LA Knight, Chad Gable, and several standout performers coming through NXT. He also weighs in on the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, Cody Rhodes' championship run, and why being a world champion can be far more exhausting than fans realize. Plus, AJ addresses fan reactions to his recent comments about wins and losses in professional wrestling, explains why storytelling matters more than title changes, and reflects on memorable moments from his WWE career, including working with Finn Bálor, Cody Rhodes, and John Cena. The conversation also covers AJ's experiences at the WWE Performance Center, his relationship with Vince McMahon and Dixie Carter, the infamous Claire Lynch storyline in TNA, and his excitement for the next generation of WWE talent. And of course, no Phenomenally Retro episode would be complete without some gaming talk, including Mecha Break, Stuntman, retro favorites, and why AJ still prefers a controller over a keyboard and mouse.
