WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles explains why he “is not going to bash AEW”
While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles stated the following in regards to a potential run with AEW…
“I like the company that I work for, despite what everybody else thinks. I’m not like, ‘Oh, there’s a company stooge.” Dude, my job is to do the best for the company that I’m working for. No matter which company I work for, my job is to do the best for it, and I’m going to do that. That’s just who I am.
Again, I’ve said this before: it’s not me protecting WWE. It’s me protecting the people that work for WWE—my peers, and the guys and women that I care about there. So I’m going to defend them because I know they’re busting their tails to put on a great show.
I’m not going to bash AEW because those guys are doing the exact same thing. They’re trying to do their own thing, trying to be different, and I get it. So I’m not going to do that. That’s not what I’m about.
I think, to each their own. If you like one company and don’t like the other, good. But there’s no reason to just bash them because they’re different shows. I’m not going to do that.”
