AJ Styles discusses the idea of his children stepping into the ring as their career.
Styles is one of the longest time veterans in the entire sport in 2023, and one of the top names in WWE despite his age. He is currently scheduled to take on Seth Rollins at Night Of Champions next week with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line.
Styles is a father of four children and while speaking on Inside the Ropes, AJ Styles was asked if he would let his children pursue a career in pro wrestling.
“Nah. Well, I would imagine once like okay ‘I’m chasing this dream’. He is chasing his dream of baseball. So he’s still got one more year of high school, and then go to college and play. But we’ll see where that ends up. It’s not for everybody and he has more potential than I ever had to do greater things than I had, but it may come to a point where they go, ‘Well, this didn’t work out, that didn’t work out. Dad, do you mind training us?’ And if that comes to that, I wouldn’t mind doing it.
I think where we’re at in WWE and other places, it’s a better atmosphere than it’s ever been. It’s not all that drinking and drugs. I’m not saying it doesn’t go on, but it’s not all about that as it was before. I think it’s a better atmosphere for kids to actually have a future doing something they enjoy. If my kids want to do it. Listen 15 years ago, I’d say absolutely not. No Way Jose, but now, it’s different, I don’t mind it so much.”

We will have to wait and see if any of “The Phenomenal One” ‘s children decide to step foot in the squared circle when they get older.
