AJ Styles was recently a guest on the Chasing Glory With Lilian Garcia podcast. Styles spoke on a wide variety of topics during the interview with Lilian.
One of the topics that he spoke about was the camaraderie of the WWE locker room and some of the relationships that he has made.
Specifically, Styles shared what Luke Harper told him backstage that meant the World to him. Here is what he said (h/t to Wrestling INC):

“What I really love are the relationships in this business and when someone comes up to you and says, ‘hey, you earned that the right way.’ This was told to me by a guy here and it meant the world to me. He has no idea how much it meant to me, but it did. Luke Harper, he came to me and he said, ‘you did it the right way. You earned it.’ And why he said this, I don’t know if I agree with it, but he’s like, ‘you’re the freaking best.’ And that meant more to me than anything I’ve ever done in this business. Someone, my peer, would say, ‘great job’ and ‘you did it the right way. It wasn’t something that was just given to you. It was something you earned.’ And I will never forget that, never forget that.”
Pretty awesome.
Speaking of Harper, he recently told the story behind his dirty Wyatt Family tank top and how it came about. You can read more about that here.
