AJ Styles to takeover major non-wrestling WWE role

Retired from in-ring action earlier this year in Jan. 2026, AJ Styles was soon inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame . Now, just a few months later, he is reportedly set to takeover a major role in WWE. Done with his in-ring duties , Styles now works as a producer for several WWE NXT matches as well as a scout for talent. With Bruce Prichard reportedly looking to work remotely or retiring from the WWE main roster, NXT’s Shawn Michaels is a heavy favorite to take over that role.
