AJ Styles is currently set to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship next week, when he goes one on one with Seth Rollins at Night Of Champions.
In a new interview with Inside The Ropes, Styles noted that it was about time he’s back in the world title picture to Alex McCarthy.
“I feel the same as you. It’s about time I’m back in the heavyweight title picture. Unfortunately, I’m up against Seth Rollins, who’s probably one of the best. I said it a long ago that he’s gonna be great, and nothing has changed. He’s still one of the best, no doubt about it, so we’ll see what happens.”
“Oh, you’re gonna be in two matches your first time back in the ring with WWE. Oh, that’s great, because that’s where I wanted to be. Who knows where my cardio is at this point? It’s a bit worrisome, but I made it through, and now for my first biggest match in the WWE [since I returned], it’s gonna be against Seth Rollins in Jeddah. So yeah, no pressure.”

We will have to wait and see if Styles will remain in the world title picture for long or if he will lose and return back to his role as the leader of the OC.
