AJ Styles’ retirement is beginning to feel real. Even though the odds remain close, Gunther is currently favored in their monumental tilt to decide the fate of Styles’ career. Shinsuke Nakamura tweeted-and-deleted a heartfelt letter about Styles’ legendary career. Nakamura noted that Styles told him he would retire at the Royal Rumble, though this could all be part of an elaborate work.

Both Royal Rumble figure to include up-and-coming NXT stars. Multiple top women’s NXT stars were conspicuous by their absence during Tuesday night’s broadcast, including Jacy Jayne and Lola Vice. Former NXT world champion Oba Femi is favored to score the most eliminations while WWE newcomer Je’Von Evans has been tabbed as the favorite to last the longest.
