AJ Styles has etched his name in history books as one of the most iconic professional wrestlers of his generation, both inside and outside WWE. Talents respect Styles as a true locker leader and often take advice from him. A recently released female star revealed a message she received from The Phenomenal One after she departed the company.
Former NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell was released from her WWE contract on November 1, 2024. The Australian has since embarked on a new journey outside the Stamford-based promotion and is active on the independent circuit.
In her latest YouTube video, Indi Hartwell disclosed that former WWE Champion AJ Styles texted her on X/Twitter following her release from the global juggernaut. Styles motivated Hartwell to continue her hustle and offered to help her.
“Keep battling, don’t quit. The reason for everything is always there. Don’t let this be the end of the story. If there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know,” wrote AJ Styles.
