AJ Styles is one of the most experienced performers in WWE today, having been in the business for more than 20 years. He recently spoke about fellow RAW Superstar Chad Gable's potential inside the ring.
While the former Olympic wrestler is incredible inside the squared circle, his underhanded tactics have derailed his momentum on many occasions. On this week's RAW, Styles and Gable faced off in a highly entertaining one-on-one match.
Speaking with Byron Saxton on RAW Talk, the former WWE Champion praised his opponent's in-ring capabilities. However, Styles added that Gable's attitude was holding him back.
"You know what the problem with [Chad] Gable is? He’s unbelievable in the ring, he has all the talent in the world. Yet sometimes he’s like every other turd that comes through here, doesn’t know his strengths and doesn’t want to capitalize on him, he’d rather show off and shush people. Gosh, imagine how good he would be if he would just apply himself to being a leader." [0:55 to 1:22]
