On facing AJ Styles in his first WrestleMania match: “It’s crazy to think about that. I’m so used to looking over my shoulder, and I still am because I can’t help it. It’s just a reflex. But at the same time, it’s like … I’m in now. But even though I’m in, I still can’t be like, ‘Alright, well, I’ve proven everything. I’m here and I’m good.’ There’s still so much to do.”
On the reactions to his character: “That stuff’s always gonna be there, … whether that’s inside the company or outside the company. I’m sure there’s still people inside the company who are like, ‘I don’t understand this at all. I don’t get this.’ … It’s either going to happen or it’s not, and all I can do is keep doing my thing.”
Meanwhile, Styles appeared on the “Battleground” podcast to discuss his feud with Knight, and blamed The Megastar for missing out on Elimination Chamber: Perth.

On how he will hurt anyone who gets in his way: “Anybody who steps in my way is going to get hurt. I’m done doing the right thing, I’m gonna do my thing. That’s what I’m gonna do from here on out and if you get in my way, I’m going to have to hurt you. … I’m gonna make it where you don’t even want to be in the same ring as me anymore because you’re gonna get hurt.”
On blaming LA Knight for not getting into the Elimination Chamber: “I would at least have been in the Elimination Chamber had he not came down to commentate for some reason and then poured water on me. You could say I’m dedicated, I flew 22 hours just to beat the p*** out of him.”
On if he has any respect for LA Knight: “You gotta respect what he’s been through to get where he’s at. I’ve been there, done that. I know exactly how it feels for someone to believe in you and all you need is a chance. He got his chance and now people don’t stop saying ‘Yeah.’ Kudos to him for getting the job done when I know there’s frustration there.”
