AJ Styles says his biggest fear during WWE run was being released from the company
While speaking on his podcast, AJ Styles stated the following while discussing the WWE departure of Sheamus…
“He’s in great shape right now. I don’t know if you’ve seen the pictures. Holy cow, he looks awesome.
Sometimes, getting that motivation, getting that chip back on your shoulder… I get it. Maybe this is what he needed. Not something he wanted, but maybe what he needed.
My biggest fear was that I would be released in some way. Other people think, ‘You’re AJ Styles. Why would you even think that way?’ Because I don’t see myself the way that you see me.
So that was always my biggest fear—that they would release ME. For me, that would be embarrassing, like, ‘Oh, he’s not good enough at his job, so he’s worth losing.’
So I was always worried about that because, even as good as my career went, there was a time where I wasn’t doing much of anything.”
