AJ Styles recently spoke with SI.com about various topics. Here are the highlights.
On NXT:
“I think the NXT brand is so great. It’s done so well. To tell you the truth, I’m kind of jealous of the Performance Center and the opportunity to go down there and train and work on things. The one thing about the independents when I got started was I had the opportunity to train and then immediately wrestle at the same place I trained, and that’s what wrestling is all about – experience. You get that at NXT, and you get to travel and go in front of these crowds and see what works for them.”
On staying with WWE after he no longer can wrestle:
“One of the things Triple H and I talked about was the opportunity to do something within the WWE when my career is over,” revealed Styles. “I’m not sure what I’ll be doing, but there are a number of things that I’ve seen and went, ‘Wow, I’d love the opportunity to have a shot at the job.’ I really enjoy helping people, so maybe a trainer. Who knows, maybe I’ll go longer in my career than I thought I would. Time will tell.”
