6 Wrestlers Who Could Turn Heel In 2019

#3 AJ Styles

AJ Styles is undoubtedly one of the best wrestlers in the world right now. He spent the better part of 2018 as WWE Champion. Styles participated in notable feuds against Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe and is currently feuding with Daniel Bryan.

However, when AJ Styles first debuted in WWE, he quickly turned heel which added a level of finesse to his already “phenomenal” gimmick. But as of late, many fans have started criticizing AJ’s work.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Even Vince McMahon told him that he (AJ Styles) was holding back from who he really his. Styles showed that he is versatile enough to pull off a heel role and he would definitely the more preferred heel in his feud with Daniel Bryan.

We may be closer to witnessing a heel turn from AJ as recent incidents on Smackdown has indicated. This could be the perfect time for him to reuse the anti-hero gimmick that he used during the end of his run in TNA.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
