After holding the WWE Championship belt for over a year, it was time for a change on SmackDown Live and for Styles to give way. Styles won the belt from Jinder Mahal, whose run with the title was disappointing, to say the least.

Styles elevated the prestige of the belt once again, having notable feuds with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, and finally with Samoa Joe. But, even though Styles was great in the ring and his feuds interesting, it was time for another person, maybe a heel, to add a new dimension to the WWE Championship.

In WWE with Bryan as champ, we could see the continuation of the long-awaited Daniel Bryan vs The Miz feud, this time for a top championship belt. And with Samoa Joe looking as menacing as ever, the WWE Championship is going to get heated once again.
