Despite being considered one of the best wrestlers ever, AJ Styles recently admitted he’s retired a signature move.
The Phenomenal One” Adapts
In a recent interview, Styles explained the “Spinal Tap,” a complex maneuver involving a mid-air flip, has become difficult to perform due to his age. He hasn’t practiced it in a long time and doesn’t want to risk a sloppy execution.
Styles emphasized his commitment to excellence. He stated that if a move can’t be done perfectly, it shouldn’t be done at all. He acknowledged that younger wrestlers like Will Ospreay could still perform the move with ease.
While fans might miss the “Spinal Tap,” Styles assured everyone he can still compete at the highest level. He recently delivered a fantastic performance at WWE Backlash, proving his ability to adapt his moveset and stay relevant in the ring.
This showcases the ongoing evolution of a legendary wrestler, and fans can expect to see The Phenomenal One continue to amaze audiences with his in-ring skills for years to come.
