Chris Jericho on How He Helped AJ Styles Transition to WWE

One of the many reasons why Chris Jericho’s most recent WWE run was so great is that he not only got himself over, but he also helped get others over in the process. One of those guys is AJ Styles, who worked with Jericho immediately after debuting in WWE back in January of last year.

So, how did Jericho help get AJ Styles over in WWE? Well, he explained how during a recent interview with Busted Open Radio.

“When it was time for me to stand up for myself and say I need to get this victory, and most of the time it was just putting over guys and not putting over – and you mentioned AJ (Styles), I took great pride in the fact that when he came into the company I know how Vince doesn’t care about what people have done outside of the walls of WWE. I knew if I could work with him for a couple of months I could work with him on the small little things that he didn’t know about WWE, which he picked up in about two weeks, and also get him over right away. And that’s basically what happened, AJ is the best in the world I would say at this point. He was when he came into the WWE, but still, there’s a little bit of a transition.”
