The former WWE champion AJ Styles recently spoke to Sky Sports during their UK tour. ‘The Phenomenal One’ talked about a lot of interesting stuff including his excitement being in WWE, fighting for the United States championship and more;

“I’ve always loved it here, I’ve always enjoyed being here, “Styles told Sky Sports. “I don’t know if it’s the history of the WWE or the independents, I don’t know exactly what it is but I’ve been coming over here for years and it’s always been a pleasant time.

“At one point I thought I would live in the UK but there’s something about this place that just has the best fans in the world, I’ve always said that.”

“I love the UK. I’ve been wrestling for 18 years and it’s always been one of my favourite countries to visit because they have some of the craziest fans. They love what we do, especially the WWE.

“You’d better watch out because, as we’ve seen, we get a lot of UK fans that come out for Wrestlemania and the Monday and Tuesday after on live TV they’ll take over the show if you don’t watch it.

“I feed off them. When there are great fans you can’t help but get energised and I like that. Maybe I would be a little intimidated had I not been over here so much but I love these fans.”

“I’m excited about it. I think the United States Championship is as big of a deal to me as the WWE Championship, I’m just not in line for that right now and that’s okay. I set goals and being U.S. Champion is one of those and I want to make that Unites States Championship as important as the WWE Championship.”

“We’ve been able to do this before. This isn’t the first time we’ve been in the ring together, not even in the WWE but the matches are always going to be good. You get two guys in the ring that are passionate about what they do and hopefully we’ll put on a show to prove that.”
