AJ Styles is sharing new details about his role in WWE post-retirement.
On his Phenomenally Retro podcast, AJ Styles shared further details about his role as a talent scout, helping discover new talent. Styles revealed he’s been going to independent shows and reaching out to talent.
“I’ve been going to indie shows and checking those out, just seeing what everyone has to offer and stuff like that,” he said. “I’m scouring the internet for something that sticks out…if you want to send me that stuff, fine, go ahead, I’d love to see it. So yeah, I’m trying to check out talent and see how much talent is out there.
I know what it’s like to be on the indies and having a job,” he recounted. “Travelling on the indies, sometimes it’s hard to get things that you need. And so, if they are as desperate as I was to make it in the wrestling business, then I’d love to see them before anybody else snags them up. That’s the way it is. And hopefully, I’m able to see talent before it’s developed.”
