And I was like, 'Dude, I'm kind of a rap guy.' I just told him a bit of what I liked, and that's what they came up with - the music that I have, which is awesome," AJ said. "But, truth be told, it was made for James Storm when he was doing NXT." (h/t to Wrestling Inc.)

But now, I enjoy seeing the guy, like I enjoy being in the same room as him, saying hello, giving him my ideas, learning from him. The guy is - more than once, and I've said this before, more than once I've had to go up to him and go, 'You were right'. I know a lot of people don't want to believe that, but it's true."
