WWE World Champion AJ Styles recently spoke with Hardcore Gamer to promote WWE 2K17 and more. You can check out the full interview here along with some highlights below.
If he ever thought he would be WWE Champion: Yeah, absolutely! There was a part of me that you couldn’t tell me that I wasn’t gonna be champion.
Hard work paying off: “I told my wife – my girlfriend at the time, that it would pay off and it certainly has. I’ve been wrestling for 17 years and in 2001, I got hired by WCW and this is how I’ve made my living ever since.”
Life after wrestling: “I enjoy putting together matches – maybe it’ll be down at the Performance Center. I definitely want to stay in WWE and I see as many great kids down there.”
How many games he’s created himself in: “From football to wrestling – there’s been a few! First game was No Mercy.”
