5 Reasons why AJ Styles as WWE Champion needs to start main-eventing PPVs now

A
AJ Styles has been a phenomenal WWE Champion

AJ Styles won the WWE Championship for the second time in his career in November last year. Since then, he has been dominating the WWE title picture and has been 'The Champ that runs the Camp' of SmackDown Live.

However, WWE hasn't let 'The Phenomenal One' main-event the Pay Per Views since the dual-branded PPVs started. Here are five reasons AJ Styles needs to main-event the scene:


#5. AJ's fighting skills

AJ Styles fighting skills are unparalleled

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

If you have been watching AJ Styles, you know how great he is in the ring. That's why he gets a thunderous crowd reaction whenever he steps foot inside the squared circle.

His matches are always great. He wrestles to his best whenever he steps in the ring and his immense talent and skills are a big reason for that. He has the skills that make him one of the world's best wrestler and the one that the fans love to see in the ring.

At the age of 41, the WWE Champion shows us what he still can do. He always shows us immense skills and that's why he deserves the main event.

#4. It's been a long time since we have seen Styles main-event a PPV

AJ Styles was in the main event for the last time in February

AJ Styles has held the WWE Championship for more than 320 days. However, he hasn't main evented a single dual-branded PPV. The last time Styles was in the main event, it was Fastlane in February.

Rather than WWE Champion main eventing a PPV, we have seen matches like Roman Reigns Vs Samoa Joe (Backlash), Seth Rollins Vs Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental title (Extreme Rules) and Roman Reigns Vs Brock Lesnar (SummerSlam and WrestleMania) main event shows.

The fans don't understand why WWE Championship has been downgraded and WWE's most prestigious title with a deserving champion didn't main event even a single dual-branded PPV.

AJ Styles as the WWE Champion simply deserves the main event and we all know it.

#3. His reign has been great

Only CM Punk as WWE Champion was better than AJ Styles as WWE Champion

AJ Styles WWE title reign as WWE Champion has been great.

Since he became the WWE Champion, he has been giving us matches for the ages. His matches with the likes of Brock Lesnar, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura (Money in The Bank only), John Cena and Jinder Mahal (surprisingly) have been great. His reign has been strong due to those matches.

I think his reign as WWE Champion has been the best since CM Punk's WWE title reign and better than any other championship reign (including Universal and World Heavyweight Championship). With that being said, AJ Styles simply deserves the spotlight.

#2. Long reigns deserve main events

AJ Styles reign will complete its 11th month in October

AJ Styles has been the longest WWE Champion of the modern era after CM Punk and now holds the record for the longest World title reign in Smackdown history.

It is a shame that WWE has forgotten about the WWE Championship. AJ Styles has been one of the longest reigning WWE Champions, but it doesn't seem that way. Without AJ getting the main event spot, it feels like his reign is not that big of a deal or he is not holding a singles title.

The WWE Championship is the most prestigious title in WWE, and with AJ Styles holding it for more than 300 days, WWE simply needs to take things in control and give this championship reign the main event spot it deserves.

#1. AJ Styles is a better champion than Roman Reigns

This was the only dual-branded PPV match where Styles was in the main-event

Let's be honest here: it seems that with Reigns as Universal Champion, WWE does not want AJ Styles to main event any PPV.

But in my opinion, AJ Styles' WWE Championship reign surpassed Roman's Universal Championship reign as AJ has proved that he is better than Reigns, as WWE Championship is a better title than Universal Championship. However, it seems WWE wants Roman to main event every PPV as he is the golden boy of WWE

WWE needs to stop making Roman main event every PPV and give us what we want: AJ Styles in the main event. Even CM Punk faced the same problem during his title reign, but he got the spotlight he deserved. The same needs to happen with AJ Styles.
