Styles talks about what goes into designing his ring gear; does he take what his action figures look like into consideration?
Not really, I just have colors in mind and what colors would match the gloves. It starts with the gloves, and whatever I can get to match the gloves goes down to the kickpads. Those are the two main things, and then the gear with those two things, and we see what happens.
How does he feel about Brock Lesnar not defending his Universal Championship in months?
You know what—I don’t care about what anybody says—Brock Lesnar is what we call a ‘draw.’ People come to see Brock and the fact that he hasn’t defended in a while, that’s on WWE; that’s on Kurt Angle and on anybody that has anything to do with [Brock’s title defenses]. I do what I do—I’m a fighting champion like you said—I’m going to defend my championship. I’m going to give my championship the respect that it deserves. I can’t say much about Brock Lesnar, but I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing.

Styles talks about a possible Wrestlemania match against Undertaker:
Would I love to be in the ring with The Undertaker? To learn from this man would be unbelievable. Will it ever happen? I don’t know, but yes, that would be a dream match for me.
Which ‘Face Of Foley’ would he most like to face in WWE?
I think Cactus Jack; that would be a good one. He’s a lunatic, you just never know—worse than Mankind—Cactus Jack would be the the guy that I’d want to go up against.
How far do we go back? Because Cactus Jack, we could get him in Japan. That is a crazy guy there, so to be in the ring and to do the things that he did back then? To me, that’s even more nuts. That’d be interesting.
