AJ Styles Says The WWE Locker Room Welcomed Him With Open Arms

AJ Styles recently spoke to the Atlanta Journal Constitution to promote the upcoming SmackDown tapings in Atlanta next week. You can check out the full interview here and read some highlights below.

The WWE locker room welcoming him:

“I didn’t expect (the wrestlers) to be so open to me coming in. These guys bust their tails and made a lot of sacrifices to be here. And here comes this guy out of nowhere. Sometimes you’ll walk into a locker room and you’ll get, ‘What’s that guy doing here?’ In WWE, it’s not like that at all. They literally welcomed me with open arms. I can’t describe how great the locker room is. This is why the WWE is successful, because they have a locker room that gets it done. These guys get it and understand, and they’re ready to get out there and work. They know we’re in the entertainment business, and they respect what I’ve done. You don’t see that everywhere.”

His WWE bucket list:

“Everyone wants that WrestleMania moment. That’s another big one for me. I’m hoping I can be a part of that. I’ve already done some amazing things in WWE, wrestling on ‘Raw’ and ‘SmackDown.’ I got the opportunity to do my first WWE pay-per-view with Royal Rumble, but to appear at WrestleMania would be unbelievable.”
