#1. WWE vs The independents
After the latest SmackDown promo exchange between AJ Styles and Randy Orton, it seems like the direction of the feud is going to be "homegrown WWE talent" vs "independent superstar". The argument from Orton was that he achieved far more at 24 than a lot of the current indie guys in WWE do all their career.
He took a shot at wrestling in bingo halls for 10$ in front of 12 people, while Styles retaliated saying that he's very proud of the background he comes from, and that people like Orton wouldn't last in "his world".

Moreover, he told Orton to take a look around, and that every superstar on the roster came from the independents. It's actually very true, going to show how WWE has aggressively poached many top independent superstars over the last few years.
Ultimately, the WWE vs. indies direction seems to be what they're going with in this angle.
