His reception in the WWE locker room:

"I didn't expect (the wrestlers) to be so open to me coming in. These guys bust their tails and made a lot of sacrifices to be here. And here comes this guy out of nowhere. Sometimes you'll walk into a locker room and you'll get, 'What's that guy doing here?' In WWE, it's not like that at all. They literally welcomed me with open arms. I can't describe how great the locker room is. This is why the WWE is successful, because they have a locker room that gets it done. These guys get it and understand, and they're ready to get out there and work. They know we're in the entertainment business, and they respect what I've done. You don't see that everywhere."

Styles also discussed the reaction from the fans at The Royal Rumble, what he looks forward to when he gets home and more. You can check out the full interview with AJ at this link.
