AJ Styles is the man of the hour in the wrestling world right now, thanks to the reports that he is set to start with WWE next week and possibly as soon as the Royal Rumble. Styles recently spoke with the Tag Rope while he was overseas in the UK, before all the reports began circulating about his WWE signing. Check out some highlights:
On the possibility of going to WWE: “I’m always going to do what’s best for my family. That’s my first priority, my job is to take care of them, any way that I can.”
On WWE not picking him up after they bought WCW: “It was a little depressing, not only that [WCW] went out of business, but the fact that WWE did not pick me up. But in retrospect, it was the best thing that ever happened to me because I wasn’t ready to be in WCW and I wasn’t ready to be in WWF at the time. It was great getting back onto those indies and really learning. I learned so much going to Ring of Honor, it was a big learning curve for me at the beginning because everything was different, things were done different in the North East than they were in the South East. But it was a great thing that happened to me, it was the best thing that could’ve happened.”
Styles also responded to John Cena’s posting a picture of him on Instagram, returning the favor with a photo from Cena’s days as the Protoype:
