Since AJ Styles retired from skilled wrestling this past January after losing to GUNTHER on the Royal Rumble, he’s decided to tackle the role of being a WWE talent scout. Along with in search of newer wrestlers to affix the Connecticut-based promotion, it looks like Styles can be offering one-on-one lessons as a coach on the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, as “WWE NXT” star Lexis King took to social media on Thursday to disclose that “The Phenomenal One” has been training him.
“Not only am I the FASTEST MAN ALIVE, but now AJ Styles is my personal 1 on 1 coach on the PC! Hahaha yall are COOKED!!!”

Although Styles has been satisfied together with his recent role as a talent scout, he was originally given a taste of a distinct side of the business post retirement, as WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque revealed last month that the previous star was present at some creative meetings. Nevertheless, Styles didn’t take a liking to being a author or producer in accordance with “The Game,” but found he had a passion for talent development.
Although King has been a part of the “NXT” roster for the past two and a half years, he wasn’t a part of the recent round of call-ups to the essential roster with a lot of his ex-AEW colleagues. Since joining the developmental brand, King has been NXT Heritage Cup Champion and just won the WWE Speed Title last month.
