SmackDown Live star AJ Styles was recently interviewed by Inside The Ropes and spoke about his relationship with WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon.

Styles had a long career before he arrived in WWE as a surprised entrant in the 2016 Royal Rumble. Since his debut, Styles has gone on to have stellar matches John Cena, had a lengthy run with the WWE Championship and is arguably one of the top performers in the company. His WWE Championship run and his prominent placement at the top of the card do not come without the blessing of Vince McMahon.

During his talk with Inside the Ropes, AJ Styles shed some light on how he won Vince McMahon over. Nobody questions Styles’ in-ring abilities and he can more than hold his own on the microphone. What he believes really won Vince over was the fact that he’s a team player and gives his all for the sake of the company – not just his own personal advancement.

“I think that once you proven yourself to Vince McMahon that you’re not some guy that only cares about himself and only wants to get himself over at the expense of stabbing someone in the back….This isn’t about me, this is about us. Let’s find a way to make WWE bigger, better and more popular and more exciting”

Styles believes Vince McMahon appreciates his contributions this far, which is probably one of the reasons he got the opportunity to wrestle Vince’s son Shane at WrestleMania 33 in one of the featured matches on the card.

“When he sees that in someone, when he sees that passion in someone, everyday you get a little bit more trust with Vince McMahon and I want that,” he said. “He’s my boss and I can go in there anytime and talk to him if I need be. There is a relationship there that I enjoy and I want to get stronger. Day in and day out, I want to prove to him that I care about us, rather than me. And I think he appreciates that.”
