#1 AJ Styles' move to SmackDown

A lot has been said about AJ Styles' move to SmackDown and as days go by, more details - some of which are really surprising - are coming through from behind the scenes in the WWE.

Tom Colohue was the first to report back in January that he'd heard backstage talks of AJ Styles possibly being sent back to SmackDown as Paul Heyman reportedly didn't have much planned for him back then. It was also noted that AJ Styles would feel more comfortable on SmackDown.

AJ Styles switches brands in WWE

Fast forward to now, and AJ Styles is your new Intercontinental Champion on SmackDown, and he seems set to be prominently featured once again on the Blue brand.

AJ Styles struggled to cement himself at the top of the card on RAW, and that was primarily because Paul Heyman pushed other young WWE Superstars.

Now that Styles is back on SmackDown, his focus would ideally be to make the IC title relevant again, and that comes down to how Bruce Prichard - who is now the Executive Director of RAW and SmackDown - books The Phenomenal One's first reign with the title.
