AJ Styles On Why Vince McMahon Decided To Push Him In WWE

When it comes to his professional wrestling career AJ Styles has found success all over the world, and he quickly climbed to the top of the card after joining WWE in 2016.

Styles has gone on to win numerous championships and feud with some big names, and it’s clear that he has the support of Vince McMahon.

While talking about why Vince McMahon decided to push him during a recent Twitch stream, The Phenomenal One tried to deliver what the Chairman of the Board wanted to see from him.

“I think it’s worth ethic. I think it’s knowing your part and going after it and giving them, and I say them – Vince isn’t the only one but he’s the most important one, don’t get me wrong. The fans are important. As long as they’re reacting, you’re doing something right. I think that’s the main thing. Vince sees that and understands it. Now, don’t get me wrong, he thought my first one was kind of a fluke like ‘Ok, flash of the pan, Royal Rumble…..’ that kind of thing. But giving me a chance and telling me what he wanted to see – that’s all I needed to know. What do you want to see? The thing was, when I first got in WWE, I wasn’t the typical good guy but the more I was there and understood they just wanted me to be who I was in New Japan and everywhere else. Is he heel or babyface? No, we’ll just let the crowd decide and go that direction.”

AJ Styles will have his chance to win championship gold once again when he faces Jeff Hardy and Sami Zayn in a triple threat ladder match for the Intercontinental Title at Clash of Champions on Sunday.

Stay tuned for updates.
