AJ Styles was recently interviewed by the Sporting News. During the interview, Styles spoke on a wide variety of topics. Below are some of the highlights.
Styles on WWE putting the Club back together [they are now known as ‘The O.C’]:
I’ve been seeking that for a while now. It’s just one of those things where I know how talented these guys are and the chemistry we have together. It’s unbelievable. That’s why we did so well in Japan because you have six guys – more than that, by the time I was out of there that enjoyed being together. We hung out. We’re actually friends and to this very day we hang out. We don’t have to ride with each other, but we do. We enjoy being together. You can’t teach chemistry and to have us together again, man, it’s awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens.
On if he would like to see Finn Balor join them:
Of course, but with Finn Balor being on “SmackDown” and we’re on “Raw” and on top of that, he’s a babyface. We’re not exactly likable right now. Maybe that’s not something that’s going to work. There’s a time and a place and hopefully that will work out in the end.
On Paul Heyman now being in charge of Monday Night RAW:
I’ve always been a fan of Paul Heyman. This guy is the mastermind that can take performers and hide their weaknesses and exploit their strengths. It’s just unbelievable how good he is at this. To have that guy helping out on “Raw,” I’m excited. I think everyone’s excited. I think when you see, since he started helping out, how much has changed it’s all positive at this point and I’m looking forward to working with him more.
On a possible feud between The O.C and the Undisputed Era:
Bring ’em up! Whatever we gotta do to get eyes on our television, that’s what we need to do. I would love that. I know those guys. I know them very well. So, let’s do this. But it’s got to be timed right. I can’t just be out of nowhere. You want people to come see it, so the timing is everything. You just don’t want to throw it out there.
