Clash of Champions 2019: 5 potential opponents for AJ Styles

#2 & #1 Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins

Braun Strowman teamed up with WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins and defeated The O.C. to win the RAW Tag Team titles. He also went up against AJ Styles for the United States Championship but fell short as Styles picked a shocking victory with the help of disqualification. Interestingly enough, WWE have manged to bring three of most celebrated Superstars into a perfectly woven storyline (so far).

Thus, in the weeks leading up to Clash of Champions, the WWE creatives can pit Rollins, Strowman, and Styles against each other -- which seems to be the direction they are most likely to take. And here's how it can happen.

Owing to Styles' interference, Strowman and Rollins lose their Tag Team titles to The O.C. which will make the 'Monster Amongst Men' turn on the Universal Champion.

And Styles shares history with both these men which will prompt him into throwing his title into the mix as well. Additionally, the support of The O.C. will only encourage the Phenomenal One to go through with the gamble. After all, The Club is always looking out for oppurtunities to establish their dominance.

In the end, the three men can be booked in a triple-threat match wherein the winner takes all -- the Universal Championship and the United States Championship.

Strowman, Rollins, and Styles inside the ring at the same time going up against each other will surely tear the house down. And who knows, if this feud is well-narrated, it might meet a memorable conclusion at WWE Hell in a Cell, 2019.
