WWE treats AJ Styles on a different level to the other Superstars, according to Luke Gallows. The former WWE Superstar was talking to Chris Van Vliet when he revealed the lengths the company went to keep the Intercontinental Champion signed.

He revealed that WWE had given him an offer he just could not refuse and that was really hard for anyone to say no to that money. Moreover, they reportedly give him more creative freedom and that got Styles to pen the new deal with WWE. Gallows said:

“He’s on a different level than us. He reached a different top guy WWE level. He’s working with a different kind of money than we are working with and working with a different kind of creative than what we were working with. I don’t know how close he got to leaving. They always treated AJ Styles properly. He’s a few years older than us. In confidence, he told us what his offer was and it was amazing. No matter how good it is outside, that’s going to be real hard to say no to anybody giving you that money. It just is.” (H/T: Wrestlingnews)
