Professional wrestling legend and former two times WWE World Champion AJ Styles who is also a former two times TNA World Heavyweight champion recently commented on turning babyface once again. He also commented on his experience about working with Omos.
AJ Styles is equally famous both as a babyface and heel among the professional wrestling fans. He is a perfect professional wrestler who can play any gimmick given to him. This is one of the biggest reason he is one of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling today.
AJ Styles Reflects On Being A Babyface Again
After joining WWE back in 2016 he has played both babyface and heel gimmicks. He won his first WWE Championship as a heel. He was also had a huge push after he defeated John Cena when he turned heel. By that time he was just a perfect wrestler and he was extremely entertaining to watch.
During his second WWE Championship run he was a babyface much like now. It was one of the best Championship runs of his career. But after he transitioned to Monday Night RAW, he was never been given a main event push. He has been heel and face both, but the main event push was gone for good.
Recently he has turned babyface once again after playing a heel gimmick for quite a long time. It looks like he is going to be pushed and he would get a better role than the time he was a heel. He literally jobbed to everyone when he was a heel recently.
But he will not be pushed as a main event star anymore. He might be given World title opportunities but it does not seem like it would be winning any more World Championships. He is currently involved in a feud for the WWE United States championship and it looks like he is going to win the title soon.
AJ Styles who is also a former two times TNA World Heavyweight champion recently spoke to Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast where he commented on turning babyface once again. He also commented on his experience about working with Omos. He said;
“Absolutely [I’m enjoying being a babyface again]. It had been a while since I feel like I’ve been a heel and I thought, ‘Ah, it’s time for a change. I’m ready to move on’ and in my heart, as Allen Jones, I love kids, I love to make them smile, being able to do that as AJ Styles is a blessing.
“I remember them [WWE] asking me about it [working with Omos] and I was excited about the opportunity. I thought it’d be fun, and it was. It was fun. I enjoy helping him get to the next level and being able to help him learn as quick as he can.”
