#2 AJ Styles
You want to get Bobby Roode established as one of the top heels on Smackdown Live? Get him in a WWE United States Championship program with AJ Styles. AJ is the most over guy on the main roster by far and has the in-ring capabilities to bring out the best in Roode.
The two men also have familiarity on their side having been long-time members of the TNA roster during their time together on the promotion. There are plenty of things about this relationship that can be used to allow Roode to settle into his life on the main roster successfully.
It would also give The Glorious One nuclear heat if he used his heelish tactics to win the championship from The Phenomenal One.
