3 Storylines that AJ Styles can be a part of in 2019

Attack AJ!
Attack AJ!

AJ Styles hit Vince McMahon during the final SmackDown of 2018 and showcased a side of his that we haven't seen during the year. The Phenomenal wrestler did garner a lot of appreciation from fans because of this act, and it has made the first SmackDown show of 2019 as a must-see episode.

The McMahon clan had promised a shakeup in the WWE, and it seems like Vince has started off the same with this new storyline since taking charge of WWE programming.

We all know that Vince doesn't get involved in any storyline unless he is sure that he wants to push a wrestler or cause a stir like he promised when he returned two weeks ago. With the authority figures being relieved of their duties, Vince and his team have become the authority and will be running the day to day operations of the shows.

The events that took place on the closing moments of SmackDown Live hint towards something amazing for AJ Styles in 2019 and I look at the possible options:

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.


#1 Storyline with HHH

Triple H suffered an injury and may not be in action inside the ring, but he is certainly running the show backstage. With the turn of events backstage on Smackdown, it is a possibility that HHH will raise hell on The Phenomenal One who took down his father in law.

We can see him suffer attacks from other Superstars or be involved in some storylines where he receives a lot of backlash. This will be the build-up to WrestleMania, where AJ Styles will fight with either HHH or his picked performer, Shane McMahon.

We did see Styles fight Shane in the past, but this time around it would be different and also awesome because it involves his father in this story.

#2 John Cena does a story with AJ Styles

Who's better?
Who's better?

AJ Styles is a phenomenal wrestler, and there would be very few people that would disagree with the statement. He had a good run with John Cena in the past, and now that John Cena is back in the WWE after completing his movie Bumblebee he would be able to go into a storyline before he moves out to complete his Hollywood commitments.

These two put on a great show during their previous encounter, and we were left asking for more, but it seems like this time around things will be a bit different. While the feud may not run till WrestleMania, it would still be good if Cena gets into a memorable feud instead of something irrelevant.

He is one of the best that there is now, and Styles has showcased his in-ring prowess worldwide already, so the feud between them could be well worthy of 'Storyline of the Year' award.

#3 Bullet Club is reunited

Bullet towards relevancy!
Bullet towards relevancy!

Bullet Club was the most must-see team in NJPW, and while some members of the club are in the WWE now, they haven't united for a long time. The last time it happened for a brief moment, but what if 'The Good Brothers' decide to turn heel, and cut wonderful promos.

AJ Styles may be turning heel, and if Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson also turn heel, they can form a faction that will be unstoppable, wherein 'The Good Brothers' would go for tag team gold, while AJ Styles would go for the WWE/Universal Championship.

With so many options possible, what if they move to Raw and join hands with Finn Balor who could turn heel in 2019? We may see an alliance that would be awesome, and then The Demon King and The Phenomenal One could fight for the right to be called the leader of this club.

If Kenny Omega signs with WWE and gets involved in the storyline, we can only expect firecrackers inside the squared circle.
