Former WWE Champion, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles recently sat down with “Bailey And Southside on Rock 100.5 in Atlanta, GA. During their talk, Styles compared his journey to the WWE to one of an MLB player coming up from the minor leagues. The former WWE Champion also went over how he is received backstage in the WWE.

Here are the highlights: (transcripts by WrestlingINC)

The Type Of Athletes That Are Currently In The WWE:

“Things have changed; not everybody is 6’8″ and 400 lbs, that’s not the way we went. We actually went the different direction where normal looking guys like myself are getting in the ring and performing at a huge level, we’re giving the fans what they want to see.”

Journey To The WWE:

“You can’t compare the WWE to anything else, tt’s amazing. It literally is the best place I’ve ever worked and that’s saying a lot because I’ve worked at a lot of great places, but there’s just something special about the WWE. Here’s the way I usually explain it: so I played in the minor leagues and then, I went to Japan and I also played there and then, I came to the MLB. That’s basically how it happened; you’ve got to show them what you can do. You’ve got to prove yourself wherever you go and work your way to the top.”

How Styles Is Treated Backstage:

“When you go from one locker room to another, everything changes because you’re the new guy. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in the ring or this whole wrestling thing. You’re the new guy and I expected that when I came to the WWE, like, ‘okay, I need to kind of keep to myself.’ But what I didn’t understand is a lot of guys were watching me when they were in their teens and they respected what I had done and treated me with respect right from the get-go, so I was a little surprised by that, but, at the same time, I’m happy that we have that kind of locker room.”
