AJ Styles States the Biggest Difference Between WWE and MMA
AJ Styles, the WWE Hall of Famer, has shared his thoughts on the biggest difference between WWE and MMA. According to Styles, wins and losses don't matter as much in WWE as they do in the UFC.
AJ Styles believes that the biggest difference between WWE and MMA is the emphasis on storytelling. In WWE, the focus is on entertaining the fans and telling a story, whereas in the UFC, the focus is on winning and losing.
Styles explained that in WWE, wins and losses are not as important as they are in the UFC. "Sometimes you're not the story in the match. You're just in the match. To tell you the truth, you probably wouldn't remember whether or not I win or lost unless somebody went through and wrote it all down because it's not that important," Styles said.
AJ Styles thinks that wins and losses don't matter in WWE because the focus is on entertaining the fans. "Guys win and lose all the time. So it's best served where it's at in the story. That's what means the most to me. I couldn't care less about wins and losses. They don't mean anything. This is a show. This is pure entertainment. This isn't the UFC," Styles said.
AJ Styles believes that doing his job and making sure the younger talent gets over is more important than wins and losses. "My job was to make sure I get the younger talent over as well, if I could. If they were older, who cares? I had a job to do. Unless I had a better idea of how to do it, then there's no point in saying anything. Do your job," Styles said.
AJ Styles has had a successful career in WWE, winning multiple championships, including the heavyweight title twice. He was also a pioneer behind the 'cinematic' matches during the Covid era, with his match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36 being a classic.
AJ Styles' perspective on WWE and MMA highlights the importance of storytelling in professional wrestling. It also shows that wins and losses are not the only thing that matters in WWE, but rather the entertainment value and the story being told.
AJ Styles' comments provide a unique insight into the world of professional wrestling and the differences between WWE and MMA. His perspective is valuable for fans and wrestlers alike, and it highlights the importance of storytelling in WWE.
