In an interview with the Talk’n Shop Podcast, AJ Styles was a guest with fellow Bullet Club members Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. He once again explained why he doesn’t want to go to the WWE. He also said that Benjamin Franklin inspired him to become a wrestler, as he was motivated to make a good living.

On the worst shoot he’s ever seen: “I’ve seen Low-Ki chop a guy’s nipples off… Just beat him, man. Some guys you’ve got to fight back or they’ll just keep doing it. That’s probably the first thing you learn in wrestling; you’ve got to take it or you’ve got to give it back.”

On if he ever wants to join WWE: “Why would I want to go to WWE? I mean honestly… They’re struggling right now with the Network… I’m in the hottest wrestling company in the world—New Japan—and I’m with the hottest wrestling group. We can say it over and over again. It’s absolutely true.”

WWE doesn't see value in Styles anyway. They would just misuse him.

Nah, they just say that to save face.

WWE don't like him because he's been in TNA most his career.
