Styles originally joined WWE in 2016, making him one of the rare few to skip over NXT after a main roster debut. He recently appeared on 2.0 for a short feud with Grayson Waller.
Speaking to Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, he confirmed that he was the one to propose making the move to NXT 2.0:
Styles faced Grayson Waller on the January 11th episode of NXT 2.0, and came out on top in what was a hard-hitting affair. Taking Styles’ comments into consideration, it will only be a matter of time before someone else could step up to the plate.
AJ Styles enjoyed helping Omos get to the next level
Before he made his appearance on NXT 2.0, AJ Styles was serving as an unofficial mentor for his then bodyguard Omos. The two have since split, but the former WWE Champion enjoyed working with the giant.
Styles recounted to Ryan Satin how WWE approached him with the idea and how the thought of it excited him.
Their partnership lasted for more than a year, and the banter between the two of them was fun to watch. Unfortunately, things ended sourly in December last year, when Omos turned on his former employer and mentor.
