AJ says it is more focus than attitude.  He was out and got his mind right and he got focused.  That is where he is at now.

Kayla mentions he hasn't been champion in a number of years.

AJ says he wondered why he had to be complacent with where he was.  He says he got his mind right and he got focused.

Kayla asks about facing Cody for the first time and his thoughts about Cody.

AJ says he respects Cody and he has been there.  AJ says he wants that as well.  He wants the title and the feeling of going out there as champion.

Kayla brings up how close they came in the past to meeting and if it is personal.

AJ says it is business, but he takes the business personally.  He doesn't want to hurt Cody, but he has to beat him.

Kayla asks what happens if things don't go his way.

AJ says he wants it more than Cody.  AJ says he doesn't need it.  It took Cody two years to finish his story and win the title.  It will only take 27 days for him to lose it.
