"Competition is good for everyone" - AJ Styles wants talent outside of WWE to succeed 

WWE Superstar AJ Styles hopes to see talent outside of WWE - even those working for rival promotions - succeed.

Before his arrival in WWE in 2016, Styles had wrestled with several companies such as TNA and New Japan Pro Wrestling. During that time, AJ built many strong bonds with fellow wrestlers, who have since gone on to have successful careers outside of WWE.

In a conversation with Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, the two-time WWE Champion emphasized how everyone in the business benefits from good competition. He said:

“The truth is, my best friends work in, you know, AEW or IMPACT Wrestling," said Styles. "I genuinely love the guys. So we want to see them succeed. We want [them] to do well. We both know that competition is good for everyone. So we want to see everyone succeed." [H/T SEScoops]

AJ Styles has been on the professional wrestling circuit for over two decades now and therefore seems to respect all wrestlers, irrespective of where they perform.

Styles expressed his desire for WWE to keep their forbidden door open longer so he can welcome his old teammates and good friends, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows, back to WWE.

“Gallows and Anderson. [I want them back] because you know they’re my boys," said Styles. "I enjoy being around them. It’d be fun. No matter where you work, we still are all friends and people want us to hate each other so much it’s crazy. There’s so many other guys and girls that we’d love to see back in WWE just for a moment."
