#4 To allow more young Superstars to rub shoulders with AJ Styles

It’s always great to have some experienced and talented Superstars in the roster who are always ready to help the new guy out and get them on their feet.

For years, we have seen Superstars such as Daniel Bryan, John Cena, and Randy Orton put some newer faces up in order to give them the push that they deserve. In doing so, the company also gives the newer Superstars a chance to battle one of the top guys and learn from the experience.

Styles is one man who is never afraid to put new talent over, and recently he has shown that by getting pinned by Ricochet and Cedric Alexander. Both men benefitted from the result, even though they lost their next few matches but still managed to get into a better position than they were in prior to the feuds.

Currently, WWE is trying to build some new stars and top babyfaces. Chad Gable, Ali, Buddy Murphy, and Ricochet are a few of the many Superstars who are looking for greater opportunities in the mid-card and having Styles hold the mid-card title of RAW is the best thing that can happen to them at the moment.

Moving on from Alexander, WWE could push up Gable or Ali into the United States Championship picture next and have them compete against Styles for some time. Not only will this give the next Superstar something major to do, but also gain a lot of experience from working with Styles in the mid-card, who is nothing but a star player.
