Former WWE Champion and arguably the best wrestler in the company, AJ Styles has been giving hints of a face turn. Styles has already commented that it is hard being a bad guy when 13,000 plus people are chanting his name every night. Styles was also not moved to RAW in the “Superstar Shake-Up” which leaves him on SD Live to possibly feud for the WWE Title.
According to CagesideSeats, there is a very good reason to keep The Phenomenal One on SD Live, which is to turn him face: “The mutual respect wasn’t the most significant thing about the segment, in terms of embracing the fact crowds want to support Styles, even if he’s playing rude in most of his matches. No, for my money, that would be acknowledging the cheers by having AJ defiantly declare himself the face of many fans’ clear-cut favorite brand. It’s an interesting discussion, and one we’ve been having about Reigns for months. So let’s bring the man who asks to be introduced as “the Face That Runs The Place” into the debate. How do you think of AJ Styles on the face-heel spectrum? What, if anything, should WWE do to move him one way or the other?”
But, there is still a chance Styles could be moved over to Monday Night’s. According to Give Me Sport, WWE wants to hold off on Styles coming to RAW as the photo went around the internet yesterday of the WWE Slam App possibly showing AJ Styles heading to RAW & Charlotte heading to Smackdown Live.
These are just rumors and speculation, nothing is official until AJ Styles appears on RAW or gives a full fledged face-turn.
