AJ Styles: “I Belong in WWE”

AJ Styles has adapted beautifully to WWE in a very short time. The feud with Chris Jericho led to some very good matches that has showcased exactly what he can do in the ring.

Now, he’s teaming with Chris Jericho, and they have been dubbed “Y2AJ”. The team is will expected to challenge The New Day for the WWE Tag Team titles next week on Raw, and that could potentially lead to a Wrestlemania feud for them.

The PHenomanal One recently spoke with Rapzilla about his transition from New Japan Pro Wrestling to the WWE and much more. You can read the full interview right here. Below are the highlights:

Why did Styles choose to jump from NJPW to WWE?

“I think the jump was due to timing,” Styles said. “Being in Japan, being away from home, was pretty scary because if something happened, I would have to jump on a plane and go home, and that scared me.”

What does AJ see for his future in wrestling?

“I’d say I’m in my prime now. You don’t really get there until you’re in your thirties. Unless you have been wrestling the top guys for a long time you really don’t get that experience. I feel like I really got that now. I’m able to capitalize on the things I normally wouldn’t. Now is a good time as any. Experience is everything…it’s just like life. We learn from everything we’ve faced in our lives and we know what not to do. Everything that’s happened to me no matter where I’ve been has worked to this point now. I get it, this is where I need to be. I belong in the WWE.”
