AJ Styles

That great. Because we've wrestled each other so much, not necessarily in triple threads, but we've wrestled each other. We know each other very well. It could have been better. No. We went home way earlier than we were supposed to. We got mixed up in a spot. Joe did something. I was like, wait, are we supposed to be going here? Nope. Bam, we did it anyway.

So we ad-libbed a good 10 minutes of that match. All that at the end is totally ad-libbed. Like, thank God we knew each other so well because we could just communicate and get to where we needed to be. So it could have been really good. It was just good.

We knew it was good because we pulled out some pretty cool stuff within that match that we hadn't done before. So yeah, we knew it was good, but we didn't know people were going to praise it as much as they did. We know we're just going out there doing our thing. This is what we do.

Yeah, well, that's a good thing, right? And I think we were the main event of that pay-per-view. So it definitely worked out. And I don't think an X Division match had been the main event until then. So we knew that we had to put on a show, but then again, we weren't stressed to the point where – Oh, God, this is a make or break for us. And I just went out there and did what we did.

And it just worked out perfect for three guys who know each other. I can call Samoa Joe's moves. I can call Christopher Daniel's moves. I can call all their moves to them. And they could do the same with each other and myself. So we knew each other so well, it almost didn't matter that we kind of went home a little early because we found a way to make it work.

I'm very, very intense. I blow myself up bringing the intensity rather than running the ropes. Because I want them to see this anger. When AJ gets in the ring... It snaps. I'm a different person. I will smile before and after, but when we step through those ropes, I'm going to take somebody's head off. I want you to see it in everything that I do.

I want you to think, I think this guy's really pissed. He may hurt me. I want them to get the idea of who I am. I've turned up that intensity. Little things like flips and stuff like that, they're cool if they're done at the right place at the right time. I've realized that people don't remember wrestling. They remember moments.

And I want to make moments happen rather than, you know, the wrestling. And sometimes it's those little thing in between the wrestling that are the biggest spots. Like I want people to watch my match and go, Wow, that was good. And then someone asked, well, what was so good about it? Like, I don't know. It just was. It's because of all those little things in between that make the match.

Little, slowly but surely, it dawned on me. I remember being at an indie show and... And there were so many great guys at that time that were doing the indies. And by the time I got out there, every flip had been done. I was like, well, I don't know what to do. So I did just a regular house show dive, but really tried to make it as pretty as I can.

And I got the same reaction had I just jumped over the top rope and done a crazy flip. I was like, wait a minute. If that's all I have to do, Let me make sure that I, you know, make the little things look like they're effortless and beautiful. And rather than do something that could, you know, I could get dropped on my head or somebody not catch me at all. This seems a lot easier.

And how can I keep doing that and using it at the right time rather than every time?
