AJ Styles commented on Tama Tonga joining WWE

AJ Styles and Tama Tonga were once Bullet Club stablemates in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

While speaking on SHAK Wrestling, Styles was asked about his thoughts regarding Tonga signing with WWE. The Phenomenal One claimed he wanted his former stablemate to sign with the Stamford-based company much earlier.

"Truth be told, I wanted him (Tama Tonga) much earlier than he came, but the timing wasn't right. He came in the perfect time, he went from sort of the mid-level of a card to the top and I love it for him. He's a good dude, he deserves it. I'm sorry, he doesn't deserve it, we don't deserve anything. He earned that chance to be where he is today. I am so stinking happy for him, so glad he's there. It's awesome," AJ Styles said.

At the upcoming Backlash Premium Live Event in Lyon, France, Tonga will make his television in-ring debut. He will team up with Solo Sikoa for a tag team match against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.

Upon Tonga's debut in the Stamford-based promotion, he attacked Jimmy Uso and kicked him out of The Bloodline. Meanwhile, Tonga and Sikoa will be looking to earn a big victory at Backlash France.
