17 Things We Learned From AJ Styles On Talk Is Jericho

AJ Styles has set the wrestling world on fire with his arrival in WWE. After a thrilling and successful debut at the Royal Rumble where he entered at #3 and lasted almost 29 minutes, the former TNA, Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling star continued that momentum with a great Raw match vs. the host of Talk is Jericho himself. The two in-ring rivals sat down to talk about Styles making the jump to WWE, the uncertainty behind his decision, his impressive run in New Japan, the Bullet Club, and much more. After several weeks of non-wrestling related podcasts, Jericho returns with one of the best episodes in quite some time featuring WWE's newest star. Let's get into it...

17. Fitting Into The Locker Room

The two men begin by discussing AJ€™s transition into the WWE locker room and whether or not he felt welcomed by his new colleagues. He says that in other locker rooms he€™s felt a sense of competitiveness and resentment, but that WWE was nothing like that. Right away he says that he felt welcomed by everyone, stating that he was even a little worried that he may have gotten too comfortable. AJ talks about how he worried that maybe he should go back and apologize for acclimating himself so easily but credits the roster with making him feel at home. He says that it helps that he had several friends in the company who he already knew, and jokes that he wanted to use them in the sense of €œSee guys, they like me so you all can like me too.€ Jericho comments on what a great bunch of guys the company has on the talent roster, pointing out that locker room is a pretty laid back place, which wasn€™t necessarily the case ten or fifteen years ago.
