Earlier today, AJ Styles responded to an X (fka Twitter) user’s post pointing out that adding house shows to the schedule was a major U-turn from WWE. However, The Phenomenal One noted that the company had too many non-televised shows before the significant reduction. Styles further noted that the new change in schedule seemed to be the perfect middle ground.

“This is good news for everyone. WWE was oversaturated with live events at one point. It seems to me that we have found a happy medium,” AJ Styles noted.

AJ Styles defends WWE’s decision to have a newly signed star join the NXT roster

Former NJPW star EVIL signed with WWE last month, and he made his debut on the April 28 edition of NXT as Naraku. The fact that the Japanese veteran did not directly join the main roster did not sit well with several fans.

Speaking on his Phenomenally Retro podcast, AJ Styles defended the move. The former WWE Champion pointed out that even Shinsuke Nakamura also joined the company as an NXT star. He further explained why it was the right decision to have Naraku on the developmental brand.

“Can I just say this? You know, Shinsuke Nakamura was also in NXT. I’m just throwing that out there. I think there’s certain things that we all need to learn in NXT that will prepare us for the main roster. Even I can say this. I had to learn quick. ‘Holy crap, they don’t do this, they do this, boom, boom, boom.’ It was a learning process and I had to learn quick because I was on there. I couldn’t afford to screw up or mess up or whatever it is you want to call it. I wanted to stay on the main roster, and I had to impress the guy in charge. So we don’t want anybody to go up to the main roster and have to learn like that. I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s better it’s just a smooth transition. You know where all the cameras are. You know not to turn your back to a camera,” AJ Styles said.

It will be interesting to see what plans the creative team has in place for Naraku going forward.
