17 Things We Learned From AJ Styles On Talk Is Jericho

15. When Did He Know?

AJ calls the Royal Rumle an event similar to WrestleMania in the sense that it's one of those major cards that all the hardcore fans pay attention to, so there's a greater sense of familiarity there when new wrestlers debut. Jericho asks AJ to tell us how far in advance he knew he would be making his first appearance at the pay-per-view in the Rumble match itself, and he responds that it was just a couple of days. He joked with himself that he'd probably enter at #2, so when he was told he'd be entering at #3 he felt that was a perfect spot for him. Styles says he couldn't be any happier with the entire ordeal, but confesses that the month prior to his debut was very stressful because he didn't know if it was actually going to happen. He says he didn't get any sleep because his head was spinning, wondering what would be next for his career.
