AJ Styles has praised The Miz, believing that the WWE star is the best heel in the business.
Speaking on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, Styles compared NXT’s Grayson Waller to The Miz, noting that he often compliments the former WWE Champion. Aspiring to be as good as the Awesome one, Styles said:
“You wanna hate (Waller). He reminds me of The Miz. In my opinion, I don’t care what anybody says, the best heel in the business is The Miz. He’s so good, and I tell him often that, ‘Man, you’re great. You’re so good. Nobody better.’ And I believe that.
“To me, there’s no one who understands what a heel’s supposed to be like (better) than The Miz,. That’s what I wanted to be. I’m just not as good as him. That’s what I wanna be, and that’s what heels should wanna be, they should not wanna be liked. They should wanna be spit on and all this stuff.
“That’s what we should strive for because with that emotion that you bring as a heel, (it) just makes whoever you’re working that much better. When you got a heel and you got a babyface, it’s easy. When you got a great storyline, it’s easy, everything’s gonna work out.”
Also in the interview, Styles revealed that it was his idea to feud with Grayson Waller, as he thinks main roster stars should help the developmental stars out from time to time.
