AJ Styles WWE Future Not in Doubt Despite RAW Loss: Contract Speculation Explained
Despite coming up short in the June 2nd WWE RAW main event, AJ Styles’ future with the company is not in doubt—at least for now.
Fans began speculating about Styles’ WWE status after he took the pinfall in a triple threat Money in the Bank qualifier against CM Punk and El Grande Americano (Chad Gable under the mask). However, PWInsider quickly shut down any rumors that Styles was on his way out.
“For those who have asked if AJ Styles losing on RAW is a sign WWE is finishing him up, we are told he is scheduled regular for RAW tapings going forward,” PWInsider reported.
AJ Styles’ WWE Contract Status
While Styles’ immediate future with WWE seems secure, there’s still some uncertainty surrounding his contract. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select previously reported in January 2025 that Styles’ deal might have been nearing its expiration earlier this year.
“The belief has been that Styles’ contract was coming up soon, but with the injury, WWE could potentially extend his deal. While nothing has been confirmed, the possibility of WWE adding time due to his time off raises even more questions about his future,” Sapp noted.
This means WWE could add extra time to Styles’ deal due to his injury hiatus, potentially keeping him on the roster longer than expected.
Why Fans Are Still Curious
The loss on RAW reignited speculation about Styles’ role in WWE, especially given his limited involvement in major title feuds recently. However, the fact that he’s still booked in high-profile matches—and performing at a top level—proves that WWE still values him.
During the RAW main event in Tulsa, Styles delivered a standout performance, going toe-to-toe with CM Punk and El Grande Americano in a high-energy bout that had fans chanting “This is awesome” and “CM Punk” throughout. Styles even pulled off a high-flying dive onto a group of wrestlers, sparking a loud “Holy sh*t” chant from the crowd, proving that The Phenomenal One hasn’t missed a beat.
What’s Next for AJ Styles in WWE?
As WWE gears up for Money in the Bank 2025, AJ Styles remains a key player to watch, both on-screen and behind the scenes. The combination of his contract situation and ongoing storylines makes his future one of the more intriguing aspects of WWE’s current landscape.
Conclusion
While fans might worry about AJ Styles’ WWE status following his RAW loss, reports confirm he’s scheduled to appear on RAW tapings regularly. That, along with his continued involvement in high-profile matches, suggests The Phenomenal One isn’t going anywhere just yet.
