Current WWE Champion A.J. Styles recently spoke to Noelle Foley and Ringside Collectibles.

On possibly surpassing C.M. Punk's WWE Title reign:

"I just have my sights set on retaining the championship. The guys I’m going up against are freaking amazing, so Rusev, guys coming back, Randy Orton, I guess he’s all better since he’s beating up Jeff Hardy. So there’s a lot of guys I’m gonna have to compete with, so I'm just hoping to retain.”

On Universal Champion Brock Lesnar's part-time schedule:

“I don’t care what anybody says, Brock Lesnar is what we call a draw. People come to see Brock Lesnar and the fact that he hasn’t defended in a while, that’s on WWE. That’s on Kurt Angle and everybody else who has anything to do with it. I do what I do. I’m a fighting champion like you said, I’m gonna defend my championship, I’m gonna give the championship the respect it deserves.”
